Have not driven car much since I bolted on GTX turbo to my BP. It runs and drives well but I am experiencing smoking when I pop the hood near the turbo compressor. Not sure if it could be exhaust leak, problem with turbo itself? Any thoughts

Almost certainly something leaking onto the hot side. If the shaft seals fail, you have armageddon coming out the tailpipe.'90 AWD Protege, full GTR drivetrain swap, ~320 whp daily driver, RIP, and
'90 AWD Protege, yet another GTR swap, Open class rallycar with a Toyota GT4 gearbox swap, thus crossing the line between hobby and mental illness. And a Brabus E55 K8, removing all doubt.

That may be the cause, the valve cover is leaking so some oil is making its way to the downpipe/turbo area. Just drove car home 50 miles without a problem so hopefully that means it's nothing majorComment

I just looked at this. That looks like steam. Do you have a burnt oil smell?Comment

looks like the same **** that happened to my PGT, check for coolant leaks by the fittings on the turbo.sigpic
