What could've happen to make it smoke all of a sudden? All I did was my up pipes.
It's coming out the tail pipe btw.

Ya blue and it seems I have more blow by now. If the ccv tube got pinched enough could my rings have gone bye bye?

also it doesn't start to smoke till the engine gets to operating temperature. looks like the back bolt on the turbo might have some oil on it so im going to check that on monday. or over the weekend if i have time.

pulled the old pipes off put the new pipes on and yes the turbo came off. it also looks like there might be a little oil around the back bolt that holds down the turbo but not alot at all.....

so what do u guys think the ccv tube got pinched idk how well do u think it could've killed the rings on the pistons? or some o-rings somewhere or would it had to have been a really good pinch?

How did the Turbo orings look? Did you make sure they didn't shift at all when you reinstalled the turbo?

You're burning oil... If it goes away fairly quickly, I wouldn't worry...

No not necessarily, it could be bad Injector orings, could be turbo orings...

White smoke can mean a couple of things, bad injectors, coolant...
