so long story short i was drifting my car (turbo seal was blow keep in mind) came to a stop and my car was smoking pretty bad figured the blow turbo seal was acting up so i popped my hood open to let the smoke out while letting the car cool down and the second i opened my hood my turbo/exhaust manifold catch fire so i get the fire out and get the car home ASAP. So now today i go and check the car out since its cooled down and everything and it looks like oil is dripping somewhere from my turbo ( i think its my oil line to my turbo im not to sure) but now when i start the car it shakes horrilbe and wont rev past 3500RPMs and is blowing smoke out of the exhaust anyone have any idea what it could be?? Ive checked the MAF and it seems perfectly fine also have check the oil and its not milking so the smoke isnt a head gasket im pretty sure... anyone have any other ideas??

thanks for the help

Check compression, doesn't sound good though.

Sounds like oil leaked on the turbo oil feed to the turbo manifold and caused the fire. I would check if you harness got burnt somewhere and no longer making a good connection. Particularly the coilpack harness. You may have some coilpack not firing causing the bad idle and smoke from running rich having unburnt fuel. GL!

Check for a cooked injector also.

Well your turbo is shot. and check your coupler for the hot pipe. possibly have a hole in it and you're not getting the boost that the maf is reading. highly doubt that there's anything wrong with your motor.
