What are your future plans? What are your HP goals?

You have stage 2 injectors? So I would assume you have 180cc single shots? Drop i turbo wise your only real choice is a GTP-38r. If you get one I would get a 1.15 exhaust housing.

But IMHO a H2e is a better turbo, better kit and its upgradeable...

White smoke is most times fuel, but it can be oil. Remove your intake tube and see how much play the turbo has. It should have a very little movement.

If I had to guess the turbo might be shot, but I would have to see it.
