help diagnose my problem (smoke, turbo maybe?)

[andymac40330]

Ok so I'm driving along today (first time I've had my car out this week) and i start to get on it just a little bit and i get this wierd sound from my turbo. It has never made this sound before but it kind of bucket a little and when I went to full throttle it took off like normal up until a certain point. At this time I also noticed a little bit of white smoke coming from my exhaust (a little bit at idle, a little bit more under boost). Now, I am wondering if this sounds like a turbo issue to you guys or something else? Also (which may be irrelevant) my clutch shakes a little at pretty high rpms but doesn't effect the drivability or anything (no slipping, jerking nothing like that). Let me know what you guys think. Thanks in advance.

sounds like a boost leak. do a leak test, that should tell you if thats it

Check your turbo for shaft play. Take off the intake hose, try to wiggle the compressor wheel, up, down, in , out. etc.

yea i'll try that stuff, I had it boost leak tested about a month ago and everything was good, i actually have a hx-35 waiting to be installed (once i get all the support ready) and i was just hoping i hadn't messed anything up while i'm prepping it for the holset.

Did you warm your car up before you got on it a "little"?
