getting little puffs of white smoke after boost and after I let off the gas. have been noticing this for a while what could it be I'm hoping its not my turbo. could it be because i'm using the pcv and open vented catch can? please help, this is driving me nuts. i have a single turbo, microtech lt-10s

 

ask your builder he should know turbo maybe engine

 

funny, myself and a friend built my motor everything is brand new. engine and turbo only have about 5-6K. thanks.

 

ok lets be nice ... make sure your not running rich ,i mean u said white smoke but just make sure and do you notice difference on the oil level?

 

cracked turbo housing? there could be water or coolant in your combustion chamber

 

what size turbo are you runnings? I ask because if your running a larger turbo....my guess is it needs a rebuild. Larger turbos on rotaries are known to brun through seals because the turbo is not in its efficiency range as it's supposed to be which causes the seals not to properly seat and also wear out much much faster. Also check your oil drain line to make sure its not kinked. That could cause oil starvation to the turbo. Is the car burning oil? thanks..

 

Coolant is usually white. Even if the turbo is water cooled, it can't be the turbo burning coolant. You would have to have a crack in the casting somewhere. Which is almost unheard of. Sounds like an engine problem. Are you losing coolant? Post some close-ups of your spark plugs, make sure they are in focus too...

 

well, found out why. suprised it lasted this long.

 

Man that hotside wheel is chewed up. Did you buy the turbo used like that or did you blow the old motor w/ it on there and not check it?

 

Holy hell....
