well isnt this wounderful, i went get my A/C recharged by one of my friends thats a Big rig mechanic and knows alot about cars. When i was in the drivway i was taching about 1.5 to 2k for a few mins to charge the system and diffrent shit like that. Well when we got finished i walked to the back of my car and notice oil splatters on the ground behind the exhaust. He said on turbos on big rigs thats not good, it means either a gasket or o-ring or something is gausing a leak inside the turbo and making it shot out my exhaust. Thats where the white smoke is coming from. Do they have a rebuild kit for the stock turbo or did anyone have this problem. I may just go ahead and get a 1g M/T turbo, the 14b, This may be a sign from The Car Gods Above.

do the upgrade! you can probably get a 14b for just as much as it would cost you to rebuild yours! good luck

whatever you do dont drive the car!!! Mine blew about 1 week ago and it did the exact same thing, and when i swapped it for the 16g i had to take off my lower intercooler pipe and about 2 quarts of oil came out of it because the turbo blew a seal. Bee vary carfull of oil levels.

yea thats what happened to my stock turbo. my mechanic took everything apart to get it ready for the evo 16 and about a quart of oil made it's way onto the floor. he just grinned and said "nice" haha.
