Blowing blue smoke like a boss.
Hello everyone im new to this site.
I have a few problems with my truck i was hopeing for some advice on....
1999 24valve Stock (only intake and exhaust) 275k but motor was completely rebuilt about 35k ago. I purchased the truck about a year ago and from the day i got it on start up it puffed a bit of blue smoke. The puff has turned into Billowing blue smoke. It happens at start up, then when i take off it billows blue smoke for say 30 seconds and clears. At steady pedal looks to be no smoke but as soon as i give her some throttle it smokes bad. The worst is after driving for a whille and stopping at a red light...when i take off you can barley see the cars behind although within about 30 seconds it clears. I also noticed oil smell and small amount of smoke form under hood. When i looked it was coming from around the turbo. Im assumng the turbo is shot. It was replaced when the motor was done but its not a holeset and the motor builder said they guy bought an ebay special.
Any help in diagnosing the turbo to be the issue for sure would be much appreciated.
