Problems after new turbo

[george1904]

ok so i just installed my new evo 16G today<br>
everything is connected right and i primed the turbo bt taking the motor fuse of and turnning the car 4 times for about 5 seconds then put the fuse and turned it on. So now there is white smoke coming out between the turbo and the manifold. Is this fine? just something after a new turbo install or is something wrong?

How much white smoke? Could just be grease/other residual fluids burning off...

Could be drops of coolant u accidentally got in their, like DSMopar said it could be just grease or other fluids burning off. Ive installed the Evo 3 16G with the extreme psi Install kit about 3 times myself in the past, and no matter how perfect you try to get it, you will always get some messy fluids all over.

Drive it for a couple of days and see if its still smoking. White smoke usually means coolant leak, blue means oil or piston rings. Been a couple years since I have stopped working on these cars, forgive me if Im wrong about the above ^^.

ok thats what i thought it was and i drainned all the coolant and put some new coolant in there since it was old. so its something common after a turbo install then?

I had a rebuilt turbo do that a little bit. It stopped after I drove it. I would say that its "burning in".

It probably didn't start until a few minutes after the car got warmed up a bit, correct?

yea it starts when the car starts to get warm

yeah just drive and verify there are no leaks. Its most likely grease or coolant burning off

Like everyone else said, take it for a light cruise to burn everything off. When I work on my car now I usually just clean everything after I install it because I get stuff really messy. My car used to always burn for like 5 to 10 minutes after I dicked with it from getting oils and crap rubbed on everything. If it is still smoking after a drive down to the store n back there may be something wrong. I wouldn't worry too much if i were you though.
