Trying to figure out where to start. My redtop will start to burn coolant after its been warmed up for like 30mins. Like say i pull off the highway and get to a red light it will idle fine, but once I give it a little gas it starts to smoke white for a few seconds and bogs down til i get to about 2.5~3k rpm. My turbo has very little play so i dont think its that. I have a metal headgasket... So I would think that its not the headgasket because it starts fine cold and you would think since metal expands when hot it would be getting coolant in the cylinder cold... Its been raining today but tomorrow I'm going to pull the valve cover and check the torque on the head bolts. Anyone have any other ideas? I'll try to post some video of it acting up

torque the head down again(required or recommended with a metal head gasket) also your turbo could have no play in it and still leak coolant/oil, my guess is that its the turbo...
