White smoke?
Every now and then I will see white smoke out my tail pipes I just deleted all EGR and removed all concerning it(air pump, tubes,etc...). Could this very well be my culprit?

I have overheated a couple of times but I never got it in the red zone I shut off before then. Trying to fix a slight cooling problem. No cats.

condensation will always happen, your cat turns one of the exhaust gasses into condensation. it only happens when its cold outside.

Check this video clip, I just had some similar trbl after deleting my EGR and this is what my prob was.
The video clip was someone elses car that I happened to see in this forum, and the other link was my thread looking for help on the issue.
good luck

As far as I know just the three I tried;
1 oil in coolant
2 coolant in oil
3 with the car running you could see some bubbling in the radiator ( at least thats what ive been told)
I guess it would also be possible to find it thru compression check, but not sure how well that would work.
Is your smoke white, or grayish like in that video clip? Mine was definately more grey than white and the breather fixed my problem.
