I have a 98 GST to start off with. The car was pretty much bone stock besides an intake and a FP 17psi wg actuator before I swapped turbos. I have now went with a td06h 20g and the first time I put it on I knew that the seals were blown on the first drive. It was making an odd whining sound and throwing tons and tons of greyish blue smoke.

I then sent it off to Forced Performance to get it rebuilt and it came back amazing. I then bolted it on, along with my 3" turboback, and some 550's for right now. I'm having to vent to the atmosphere for right now since my FMIC is a short route and throws the bov outlet towards the ground and I didn't have the stock recir. hose so I made my own. The one I made doesn't work becuase it will kink. Well everything is good besides the crappy idle and the usual stuff that goes along with venting without a MAF/T. But I have noticed that I'm still throwing greyish blue smoke. Its horrible while I'm sitting still and trying to keep the rpm's at 2k so it will be smooth and then when I let the clutch out, it wants to baugh down and it smokes insanely bad. I also noticed that under WOT it smokes some too.

Any of you guys got any ideas? Sorry for the long complicated read :coy:
 
I think if you were to find some kind of long flexible tubing that you could make a long U shape with to loop it back up and then connect it. It would be better than having it dump to the atmosphere atleast.

Generally white smoke is coolant and blue smoke is oil. You could have blown your headgasket. How long ago was the turbo rebuilt?
 
A week and a half ago. Today I noticed when I was leaving my cousins house from a Pre St. Patty's bash still...well :D It wanted to act up on me when I was getting on the interstate and I just kicked it and took it to 120 and there was hardley any smoke. Hopefully once I get this Recir. Hose on it, its going to make it stop.
