i have researched this and when my car idles and drive it normal it doesnt smoke at all. But when i hit boost and come to a stop, there is alot of white smoke. can you name some problems it might be? i know it may be the o ring letting coolant through, but would it smoke just idling too?

What you are describing are the symptoms for a blown/bad turbo

I have similar symptoms, and I'm pretty sure my secondary turbo's are shot. How many miles do you have on your turbos?

The key question here is:
Are you losing coolant? If not, it's not the coolant o-rings.

Does the smoke smell like coolant? Or does it smell like oil - which would indicate bad turbo oil seals.

i have a plume of smoke when i hit the secondary turbo but only after not hitting it for a day or so, would this be a failing secondary turbo as well ?

err can read that different ways.

in short duz a plume of smoke when i hit my secondary (dont hit secondary very often) mean that my secondary if looking a little porly or is this normal ?
