White Smoke After Boost

Josh Kute · 05-15-2008

Guys,
I have a Garrett GT40 Turbo on my 4.6. I just had Majestic turbo rebuild the turbo. When I let of the gas after boost the car smokes white out the exhaust. Can somebody please tell me what the hell is going on. No missing coolant!

Be careful because when that happened to me i ended up having a small head gasket leak that i had to drive with and unfortunately i got into a bit of boost getting onto the highway and BOOM, there it went and took 2 cylinders with it.

I'd go get it checked out

I have had this sort of problem with turbos too. The most common diagnosis is that there is oil in the turbocharger, and it is burning it off. However, if the smoke is a white color, then that means that you're burning water somewhere, possibly in the turbocharger. It might also be a leaking head gasket. Good Luck!!!

That definitely sounds like coolant burn off id get it checked before it goes bad
