The reason you don't see it on a cold startup is, the turbo is still cold would be my guess. But I'm tellin ya dude, your situation sounds EXACTLY like my experience...... down to the smoke immediately after a rebuild.

I kind of hope
It's the turbo and not my new engine.

I'm going to get it nice and hot, then get a borescope in the downpipe so I can see if there's any oil leaking into the turbine housing also pull the air filter see if I can see anything on that side and go from there

I had them same symptom. I would cold start the car no smoke. Drive 65 miles to work and stop to get food. Start the car after 5 min and smoke cloud from hell. After messing with its awhile pulled the turbo and sure enough turbine seal was bad. Cold start it wouldn't burn the oil in the turbine but warm it would leak into the turbine and cause unnoticeable smoke when the engine was running or was coming out a little at a time. When I turned it off hot it would fill the pipe like fog then when I started the car it all came out at once. Pulled the turbo apart and the piston seal was burnt and broken. A bunch of metal was packed around it even though the bearings were still good and tight. I switched from the gt45 80mm vs racing turbo to an s480 forced inductions and never had any smoke again. Go figure I bought a quality turbo and it didn't smoke anymore. Lol. Just my experience.

Ok good to know. I have a feeling the turbo is going back to Comp for a rebuild. They want $375 for a rebuild but Im in Chicago and they are in California so it may a little to ship and a lot of down time. Oh well if that fixes it and its not my new motor I'm happy.

I just saw your video Alex, legit street cars and I believe it's your turbo as well, get it rebuilt like your were saying and it should fix the issue.

Given the fact that this was 5 years ago, it's probably safe to say he's got it sorted out by now.

No he didn't resolve it, he just posted about this exact issue and car today on his YouTube channel, check out legitstreetcars on YouTube and you'll see it's his latest video

Yeah I watch all of Alex' videos it's probably my favorite YT channel. Knowing him and his desire to create content, he'll get the turbo back try it, and see if that was the issue.

I know this one is old, but just curious if the issue was ever solved.
