Blow White Smoke

[ducki]

Hey, today while entering the freeway.. i heard a weird sound and felt the car went flat.. after that i realise theres white smoke coming out of the exhaust everytime i try to go on boost.. I've search the forum to find out about it and to what i understand.. it could be head gasket? or turbo dead and needs a new one?

Anyway gonna get it check out tommorrow and just wondering how long can i keep driving it like this? will it damage anything? or it'll just keep blowing out white smoke until i replace the turbo?

Oh, car is on stock boost with fmic and catback... so any idea how did i manage to killed my turbo? cause i always think that you have to run higher boost for the turbo to spit out its ceramic wheel. guess i was wrong there...

Hey ducki

Sorry to hear... if it's a blown head gasket I'd advise you not to drive it... you could do some real damage to the engine... I had a blown head gasket in my old shitbox of a car.. mate put some liquid and told me to drive it to the shops and back just to run this liquid through the radiator.. about 10mins away from home smoke and liquid starts pissing out... made it home but yeh.. not good..

Hope it gets fixed!

hehe.. it was a blown turbo.. had it replaced last year

there was nothing left on the exhaust wheel.. so the cause of that is still a mystery to me since it's been running stock boost ever since i bought it and stayed like that for over 2 years before it shit itself.
