As some of you know I have been working on my turbo build slowly as I have the money to do so. Well I got basically everything except my fuel setup. The tags have been expired for about 4 months now so I put everything back to stock so I could go do emissions and get new tags. I started it up yesterday. I started it and let it idle for about 10 min, saw a leak, fixed it and when I went to start it again I blew a radiator hose off. I fixed that dryed everything off and took it around the block.

Here are the problems that I have and I'm lost:

1. When I take the car out of gear to stop, it almost dies.
2. When the car is idling the motor shakes like crazy (stock motor mounts)
3. I'm burning oil really really really bad (bluish smoke)

I did a compression test and when I took the spark plugs out they were dripping with coolant. The weird thing is, is it didnt misfire, and the car ran amazing. My compression test showed 150, 150, 160, 150.

I'm stumped. Any answers would be awesome. If need pictures or video just let me know. Again the car runs amazing when I get on it.
 
Since the plugs are wet with coolant, sounds like blown headgasket or cracked head.
 
i had oil in my spark plugs because of a bad valve cover gasket, but didnt have any of the other problems you had, i just dont know how else you would get coolant into your plugs unless their is multiple problems.
 
My Valve cover is brand new. I know thats not leaking. I'm thinking that maybe when I blew my radiator hose off coolant somehow managed to get under the wires and into the cylinder. Is it possible that since there was coolant in the chamber that my compression could be worse?
 
If there was coolant in the cylinder, you would've bent a rod or a valve.
