First of all, why are you brake boosting? You don't drive a giant-turbo Supra. If you drive like an idiot, expect idiotic consequences like blown headgaskets.

Check your plugs for discoloration at the tips (if your coolant's green, look for a green tint), drain and check your oil for coolant, and check to see if any sweet smelling water (coolant) is dripping out of your muffler.

like 80 bucks... but yea sounds like a bad pcv, head gasket, or some other gasket... if ur burning oil like crazy its prob ur headgasket or pcv. and like others said, check your coolant levels and see if there is coolant in the oil. that will tell u your headgasket is done. if there isnt and ur coolant levels are fine replace your pcv valve and see if it still has the prob.

How long have you had the car? Sounds expensive. Hope you have a rainy day fund! GL.

Head gasket is your likely problem. White smoke is coolant, but low oil level and burning oil could be a bad ring as well. Take it to a mechanic who knows what he's doing, stop racing on the ****ing street, and take better care of your car.

If your goin to be beating the leap out the car on a weekly basis plus u might want to invest in rebuilding the engine and getting it done up so it cam handle the abuse. That car ain't goin to last long if u keep treating it like a wicked step child.
