Is my engine going to blow soon?
I just was on the highway and I decided to open it up, and between high rpm shifts a lot of white smoke comes out of the exhaust. It only happens at high rpm shifts, not when I drive normally. Is this a sign of engine failure?

It happens only under boost, and but it doesn't smell like coolent, it might be oil. Could it be my turbos crapping out on me and burning oil? My turbos do make a lot of noise.

I did notice oil in my intake piping, but I don't know what is an excessive amount. I also checked my oil dipstick and it was about a 1 1/2 quart low and I had just changed the oil 200 miles ago.

I am not sure if the motor was replaced or rebuilt, but which ever one it was, it was done 5k miles ago. (I bought the car with the new motor in it)
Also when I bought the car, the guy said the turbos were rebuilt also. The turbo housing looked clean and and new, but who knows?

Getting stockers rebuilt is an exercise in futility. They will never run 100% right. Either go single, go BNR twins, or go with the '99 spec Efini twins.
