Finally RUNNING !!!

[Eclipse4ever]

The GSX is now running. It hasnt been running for some time now. Since this is my first turbo car I have ever worked on I carefully put back everything.

However when I rev it to say 3-4k white smoke comes out. Its comes out next to the exhaust manifold and timing belt. It comes up slowly so I cannon pinpoint the location. Its not exactly white but its not either white or blue. I cannot say with certainly but it comes out of there when its in the higher RPM's. Also since I had the turbo out when I put it back in I am certain I did it perfect but say I messed up, how can I figure out if the turbo is getting oil and coolant. I dont want to fuck up the car now when its complete.

Thanks guys I hope I dont mess it up now

Sounds like an exhaust leak. Did you bolt the exhaust mani on good? Use a good gasket? Is there a crack on the manifold?

Just test ran my car and I got another problem. I fixed the exhaust leak but My car wont go over 2K. Its like I am draggin a frikin tank behind me and it wont go any faster. BOV wont make a sound. I dont have any huge boost leaks maybe a small one but not big enough to sop me from accelarating over 5 mph. Also the car overheated big time, temp gauge went through the roof in like 1 min, both fans are working, coolant all the way , nothing has been touched so I know something is wrong. Also before, when left idleing the car had like -9.5 vac and now its like only -4. I am confused, so any opinions ?

It sounds like you have a blown head gasket. Did you check your coolant level? Do a compression test ad see what that says.
