White Smoke only on WOT...
So i was going on an on-ramp the other day and i floored it in second gear, shifted to 3rd and looked in my rear view mirror and saw a big cloud of white smoke. I have a 16g turbo, intercooled by the way. On idle there is no smoke. No overheating problems. No brownish residue on the oil cap. Coolant looks nice and green still, not milky. So what could it be? I have a catch can installed with dual pcv valves coming from the valve cover and the breather on the crankcase. Could I have blown my oil seal on the turbo? This was a rather large cloud of smoke so im kinda worried as its never happened before. I will be doing a compression test this weekend also so if anyone has any tips on how to go about doing one it would help a lot. thanks in advance for the help!

you car would run like **** if you blew the head gasket. Most likely you have a small leak in one of your seals on the turbo. I take it was a used turbo? Also are you using the proper restrictor for the turbo?
