Ok well i just blew my stock 14b (knew it was coming) then i bought a new EVO III 16g, now i still have a little smoke, and there is oil coming out of the exhaust and a little coolant coming out with it (a little) could it be stuff from old turbo????? or bigger problem?:dsm:
 
how long have you had this new turbo installed for? it could be a headgasket, did the performance change at all? wasw the 16g new?
 
Yea its a brand new turbo, all this happend on the FIRST start up after install...... i just got it done on sunday. how can i see if its the head gasket?

There is no possible way for coolant to get into the exhaust from the old tubo unless you cracked the cartrige which is unlikely. That would leave me to believe that you have a blown hg. First check compression and then pressure check the coolant system. One or both methods will show you condition of the hg and source of the coolant in the exhaust.
 
Take the turbo off asap. You may damage it if mixed oil and coolant go through it which is what may have happened to your 14b.
 
You can always clean the oil passages in the turbo if needed. I'd be more concerned with running a compression test. Post your numbers when you find out what they are.
Compression Test.
 
there is no oil in the antifreeze nor antifreeze in the oil. ill do a compression test today, but when the turbo blew the shaft between both turbines was snaped. could that leak antifreeze if that happends?.
