Billowing PUFF of the White stuff!!!!!!

Buddys 1g Trubo Billow's....I mean billows white smoke but, ONLY at IDOL when he drives I see nothing coming out the back. Under the hood nothing appears to be leaking. I told him turbo seals. Was that right? He has a 1g and have the 1g

Yes, its possible its the turbo seals. Remove the IC pipes and check for oil inside them. Made sure to warm the car up before running hard too, a car can have over 100 psi of oil pressure when cold, and too much oil pressure will kill turbo seals.

After you check the LICP run a compression test.

Man bro we checked his Lower IC and it was Caked and man it had like a bunch of OIL in it I was like shocked and kinda pissed too. I also sean a big gesey stain around his trubo where it connects to the turbo housing so we are 100% its the turbo thats shot plus it has mad mad shaft play. Since he has low funds and wants a 14b where can he at least get a ported one?

Ok so you know the turbo seals are shot, you can either replace or possibly rebuild.
