did a check today my compression from # 1 -4 is 180. im thinking it might be the turbo itself too.. but then again.. its oil cooled.. also when i check the tail pipe its like water moisture type of drops.. also side note.. the smoke is not really as bad as a fog machine type.. its just that it seems like its consistent.. ill take a video of it ..

What turbo R U running? My car did the exact same thing when I added too much Lucas oil in it causing the motor to be too full on oil. After I drained it it took about a day to clear up. It only smoked at idle and I was glad when it went away.

yeah that sounds like mine turbo proto... only at idle it smokes.. when i drive it its fine, but when i let it idle it smokes alitlle ..... i guess my car didnt like the valvoline oil synt... i ususally use mobil one syt ... but every since i cut a corner by using valvoline synt this happens.. oh its a t3/t4 turbo

In every chemical reaction where combustion happens, water is usually a by-product. I know water is tpyical when coming out of an exhaust. That is why my moms minivan has an aluminum exhaust manifold so it won't rust on short trips. Other then that, i have no useful info on this topic

well one good news is .. not a blown head gasket, just some moisture in it .. time for an oil change.. as for smoke comming out of the tail pipe.. i guess water got build up in my resonator.. i dont drive far too... also my work is like a min away.. but im still pulling out the motor soon once my clutch goes out .. phew.. long live the BP!!!
