sorry about all the smoke threads lol, Ive done some searching, and gotten some thoughts but everything I hear points in different directions.

a couple of months ago I was getting blue smoke, so changed the turbo, bought a ct9 off el man, I got it changed before like a week later it went into tm-developments to have head rebuild, including uprated valve seals, and head gasket obvs.

now i didnt check the smoke between changing the turbo and giving it to tm-devs because the car was off the road. but. now im getting what I see is white smoke.

Ive had no one check it really, it just looks white in the rear view.

Im not losing water, not a drop, I am losing oil. my compression was checked at tm, and is good, 170 across all four pots.

It only happens when I put my foot down, and after a couple of boosts it stops.

seems strange to me, I cant find anything similar.

may also help to know its an old engine

i had this in my old td04 b4 i went forged.
turned out to be turbo was shagged, so everytime it came on boost white smoke would appear in rear view.

how sure are you it's white smoke?

white smoke normally indicates water burning in exhaust.

blue smoke indicates oil.

sometimes blue smake can be very faint.

if its not using water and only oil i would look at the turbo again, especially considering you recently had the head rebuilt and puit back on.
