Hey everyone, I just put my turbos back on, new gaskets, also a new efini y pipe with new gaskets, etc... I am getting white smoke from under the hood. I thought it would go away because I know that it is just the gaskets, but I drove about 300 miles today and it was still smoking a little from the turbocharger assembly. It isnt much smoke but its noticable in the headlights, or if you look at it hard. Any tips/advice? I am pretty positive that everything is on nice and tight, but I will check again. Thanks, Bart

 

Watch for not tight enough clamps on your trubo coolant hose connections. Did you re-use those hoses? Is the car running hotter than before? And are you losing coolant at the filler neck when checked cold?

I just went through replacing the lower coolant carrying hard line in my turbos. All the assembly anti-sieze had smoked off by the third time I started the engine, let alone drove it anywhere. I'd worry a bit about those coolant lines, were it me and all...

 

I will check those clams, and yes I did re-use the hoses, they looked fine, also my temps are all normal, and I will check if I am loosing coolant at the filler neck tomarrow, thank you for the help.
