Started my car up this morning, noticed a sort of rough idle. Almost sounds like I'm cammed but I definitely am not. No CEL, just fixed my boost leak. Figured it was because of cold temperatures (40 degrees) so I let it warm up, idling wasn't as rough as before but it's still noticeable. Oh well, probably just being a hypochondriac. Cruising along I notice I'm backfiring way more often than usual. One of my buddies behind me mentions white smoke coming out of my exhaust and says something about blowback issues. I go WOT to test his theory and sure enough I'm popping for a good three seconds during decel all the while white/blue smoke is pouring out.
I limp back home and check oil, doesn't look like any coolant is in there. Hoping it's just bad plugs and/or coil packs. Plugs are NGK Iridium BKR6E (I think) gapped down to .025 on a stock setup. Cylinder two coilpack has white residue so I'm assuming it's failed. I posted another thread about a boost leak and mentioned replacing them but never got around to it. What do the Zilvia bros think? Bad plugs/packs? Bad turbo? Blown headgasket?
