:barf: OK here goes. I have a 2G GSX AT. Recently my engine pooped itself and I had a new one installed. The shop tightened the hose clamp on my filter too tight and broke the plastic adapter. I was not aware of this until the turbo sucked up the fragments of plastic. Damn it. Bye Bye fins. OK. Need a new turbo. No Prob. But now if I start the engine it spews out white smoke. Do you think this is oil leaking from the turbo seal or do I have bigger problems. No smoke before the fins broke off. I am looking at a 16G Turbo on ebay with a FMIC. I'm hoping, new turbo=no smoke. What do you think? Please help.
 
It's probably that the oil seal are broke. I would advise to hold off on driving it if possible until you get the turbo swapped out though.
 
I have an extra t-25 off my car i swapped out, if you need one cheap PM me.
 
If it is a 16g w/ FMIC kit for around $570 on ebay I would stay away from it unless you want to be the guinea pig for some possibly crappy knockoff parts.
