Turbonetics T3/T04E 50trim KA-T

[allstar]

So I have had my kit on for a little over a week or so, and white smoke came out a little from the exhaust and I didnt think anything of it, just thought mayba oil was burning off and the kit was just new..

I was on the freeway and the car started to boost funny!!
So anyways now my car will not boost at all!!!
White smoke is Shooting out the exhaust like bi*ch..!!

One shop told me the turbo is bad and the local people are saying the same thing..

The turbo is less then 2 weeks old, I broke it in nice and soft for atleast 500Miles and then did some nice pulls.. White smoke started to get worse and worse.. then yesterday it stopped boosting..

I know Turbonetics has a "1 year no questions asked warrantee"

but ****.. lifes a bi*ch..

Im stumped, im pretty sure its the turbo.. any Help?

Is the turbo spooling at all? What color is your oil?

Coffee looking oil and/or white smoke = usually headgasket.

I'd say if your engine isn't overheating or acting funny, then it's the turbo.

The turbo will not go into +boost at all.. boost gauge only hits 0psi..

Oil is fine, and the car does not over heat..

so it must be the turbo right?

bad turbo for sure, i've seen a similar local problem, and the only way it could be a HG is if its overheating, that turbo has a blown seal...
