when i start my car a little bit of white smoke comes from my exhaust, i thought this was normal for a while, considering i have a 3 in DP, no cat, and a 3 in exhaust. Well i was reving my engine today and tons of white smoke shot out the back, what does the white smoke mean?

Coolant... Just hope its not a head gasket.

Well coolant is around the cylinders, so it could mean a head gasket leak, burning coolant... or possibly a crack in the cylinder wall, which I doubt.

my turbo blew up today and thats why the smoke was comming out of my exhaust. I ordered my head gasket but i guess it was a waist now, ill probably put it on anyways though. Im replacing the turbo on wednesday with the evo 16g. THanx for all the help guys.

At least you get a nice new, fast turbo! Congrats on the upgrade, and at least you don't have a head gasket leak that could've contributed to cw or another large problem!
