When I run it hard and then stop smoke BILLOWS out of the exhaust. If I run it hard enough the smoke can almost cover the whole car. The key is the smoke doesn't come until the car comes to a complete stop, the harder I gun it the more smoke. I'm thinking it's the turbo since it only comes when I drive hard, not rev hard. I dunno the mechanics of turbo so if you guys know/have any idea it'd be appreciated.

it is most likely your seals on your turbo. If it only does it when you stop thats sign its your turbo mines doing it now also :( it's cool though cause I'll have either a PTE 50trim or PTE GT32E mmmmmm. hehehe

Yep oil seals on your turbo are shot. It would be a really good idea to check your oil level before you drive it again, since all that smoke is your oil being burnt...
 
Thanks for the help guys. Yea, I've been checking it before I drive everytime. So can the seals be repaired?

Yea I was thinking about grabbing a used big16g and running it on low boost until I can afford an exhaust. Now all I've got to do is find one :(
