    Hey guys my 4agte recently started blowing alot of wihte smoke on start even when warmed up turned off and then turned on, say if take it for a drive then stop turn it off for 2 mins and then start it up again bam more white smoke shit loads. Turbo boost fine , motor runs great but it poors out all this smoke after any initial stop and start . What could it be ? the motor has had a recent rebuild , the only thing i can think of is the turbo seals are gone as i have recently installed a boost controller for 10psi.

    Cheers for the help

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (reecegze @ Mar 23 2008, 11:20 AM) </div>Most likely turbo seals are gone if you've had a recent rebuild. I had a similar problem on my motor.
    Driving would be okay but when it was idling it would blow shit loads of white smoke aswell also after a rebuild.
    I bought a new turbo put it in and it was fine after that.

    i had this on a CA18 once, i thouhgt it was the turbo, was actually a hair line crack in the oil feed to the turbo.
    after it was warm i would stop turn it off, and when it wuld sit there oil would drip out, turn it back on when it was warm and SMOOOOKE
