EccentricBro

Yes there are other threads i've been looking through yada yada but here's my story. Ran up a curb 2 days ago. derp yeah i know i'm a fucking idiot don't remind me anyway the main damage done luckily was just the bumper got destroyed. fixed that yesterday. suspension/steering related stuff seems no different, the only real noticable damage was the intercooler took a hit, not to bad, on the bottom of it.

so here we are, today i took it for a cruise double checking that she's okay, and it was idling fine, cruising fine..but it didn't feel like it was pulling as hard as usual. towards the end of my 10 min drive i was at a red light and noticed something smelt. light turns green i give it gas and some white smoke comes out of the exhaust. first thought is 'oh fuck head gasket'. i get home and try to recreate the situation...parked in front of the house, let it idle 2 min and gave it some gas. nothing. round 2: i take it for a cruise around the block making sure to hit boost a few times. sure enough this time i let it idle white smoke starts coming out, give it gas and more comes out then clears.

to answer the obvious question, no it didn't smell sweet. radiator cap leaked when i first got this car, every time i opened the hood before replacing it there was a nice smell of coolant. every time. so i know what that smells like. it definitely smelt more burnt. so i'm thinking oil. and because of the fact that it only did it after i hit boost makes me think turbo seals. opinions?

edit: forgot to mention it's pulling 6-7 psi when it should be 8-9
