Finished putting car back together, drive around the block a few times come home and white smoke is coming from the engine bay, right above the turbos/downpipes. I am looking for a tech or a shop that can send someone out to look at my car. I will pay for gas, and your time. I live in Huntington Beach. thank you. E-mail me if you like

Worst-case scenario, the turbos are shot and/or you didn't remove the shipping plugs before attaching the lines.

Good luck man, hope you can figure it out.

How does it run, though? Will it make boost?

I though it could be the oil feed lines, but I'm not getting any dripping oil under there or anywhere around that area on start up. I made sure the plugs where removed before install. I highly doubt the turbos are fubard as i oiled the shaft before bolt up and primed motor before start up. Did my first WOT run 2-3rd gear, full boost (9LBS) through the entire powerband with no fluttering boost or anything. Plus the smoke I'm getting dosent smell like oil. I'll let you guys know how it turns out.
