is it my turbos or moy motor?

when i first start my car it pours out white smoke for like 10 minutes. after that it stop and no more smoke. im pretty sure its coolant thats burning, it doesnt smell like oil or fuel, it smells just like when you spill coolant on a hot piece of metal...

now are my coolant seals in the motor shot or could it be the seals in the turbos. i know for sure that i need turbos, i can boost 10-12psi fine but they burn serious oil when i run them hard. as for my motor, if i pull the plugs and listen to the compresson while trying to crank it over it sounds even and stong on all 6 apexs. the motor still pulls strong and idles smooth @ 800-1000 rpms @ 17-20 Hg

how can i tell for sure whats beat? and if its the motor how whats the average time untill judgement day?

I would say your turbos if you engine is holding that much vaccume. That engine seems like a rock. But when you pulled the plugs did you see any coolant on them or smell them to see if they smell sweet.

my turbo II smoked horribly...I thought I lost a new motor..turn out (like I was suspecting) the turbo housing was cracked and was leaking into the exhaust housing blowing white smoke out like a steam engine!
