need help I need some help from some of you turbo guys.Im running a precision turbo T 70 phamspeed kit. I have major vacum pull at around -20 at idle and when I'm on it I have to be at almost 3500 to see positive boost.now at this point when I make my shift I get bad white smoke out of the exhaust. I did a leak down test and nothing, everything was holding pressure I have no milky colored oil and my coolant level hasnt moved.now this leads me to believe 2 things.1) that my head gasket is starting to go 2) something is wrong with the turbo. I only have 28,430 miles on my 01 ws6 and just finished installing the turbo kit in may. if you turbo guys might think I'm missing something or know something different please chime in also I am running a catch can so no oil is blowing through. thanks -mike
That's strange, no coolant level change, but white smoke... How much white smoke are we talkin, are we talkin like nascar amounts or just little puffs? You had the heads pressure checked and what not I'm sure right? I'm really not sure what to think if you're not losing coolant and you did a leakdown and everything looks okay.

well I found out that the turbo is missing a seal in the housing and spewing oil on the compresser wheel so I have to get a rebuild kit.I was wrong it was a light blue but I was so busy watching the guages by the time I looked up I thought it was white.so now Its gonna sit for a little
