Yesterday I went for a drive. Anyway i did a WOT on 1st gear ... lots of black smoke but around 5.5k rpm i heard a pop sound followed by white smoke. .. head gasket or turbo? I was still able to drive it to my friends place after that cruising at about 80 km/h off boost . Water temp is stable throughout...

 

Checked dip stick this morning. No signs of water. .. just need to know what I'm expecting to get replaced. ..

 

Gah...[emoji52]

Did you get that wastegate working? Hope you weren't over-boosting!

White smoke generally means coolant/water being mixed in with combustion. You should be able to notice it though...

Take off your radiator cap and start your car - if you notice continuous small bubbles you have a problem.

If you don't see discoloration of your oil and no bubbles, perhaps you've done something only to the turbo. Does it still make boost? Any chattering/grinding sounds?
