So I did some work on my car over the course of a month... i just cleaned the intercooler,turbo, installed a new water pump and timing belt.
So today i went to start it up and it started to smoke.... a lot, and it keeps smoking for about half an hour hoping it would stop.... but it didnt..... It smokes at the manifold and out of exhaust. could it be bad gas or oil leak??
 
What color is the smoke? White smoke would be symtoms of a blown headgasket. Black or blue would be symtoms of oil getting by somewhere like the piston rings.
 
What color is the smoke?

White is coolant
Blue is oil
Black is fuel

What was the reason for cleaning the IC?

What turbo? Where is the turbo fed oil from? OFH? or head?

Do you have an turbo oil restrictor installed?

What are your oil pressures?

* cold start

*Warm Idle

* Cruise at 3000 RPM

*WOT
 
Did you get oil all over the turbo, when you had everything apart? My first thought is a loose oil feed line fitting, or something along those lines?
