ok, so my friend bought matt poppoffs car and now we need help with a little diganoistics, the car is blowing smoke terribly, even at start up it smokes, it blows blue for a while, then it just blows white like a jet taking off. so im thinkin that the turbo seals are gone and maybe the headgasket is blown as well. tempeture went up when we would drive it, so if anyone has excperienced anything like this before please let me know, i would also like to know where i can get a 4 layer metal head gasket for his car as well. one other thing i was thinking is that it was the piston ring stuck. let me know
thanks
 
i would do a dry and a wet compression test. This will tell you if there is a problem with your headgasket or rings. If your compression is fine i would look at the turbo next.
