hi ! i just a 96 GS-T and have been driving it for like 2 weeks now. today i look in my rear view and saw a shitload of white smoke coming out of the exhaust everytime i shifted. it was like a huge white cloud almost an explosion. anyways im pretty pissed not sure where i should take it to or what i should do. i looked under the hood and there was a tiny bit of oil on the valve covers dont know if that means anything. i did a mobil 1 synthetic oil change a few days ago. amount of oil is fine.

also my turbo or something kinda makes a funny sounds when accellerating now.. almost like a sucking noise or something. not sure
 
Thsi happens to me too. I have no idea why. Oil level in my car is fine too. I use Valvoline Maxlife 10w-30. It only happens on the rare occassion.

I'm interested in a solution too :)
 
sounds like ur turbo is on its way to gasping its last breath, are u runing the stock T25? how much PSI? whats the millage on ur car? do u have any oil leaks?
 
I've got the same problem.. you should be thrilled about it because the T-2Suck is dying and it's time for an uprade ;)
 
if it's blowing white smoke are you sure it's oil? typically water creates white smoke..not oil. how's your head gasket and compression?
 
Yeah check the headgasket, the compression, and your anti-freeze level, water could be leaking in to the combustion chamber.
 
yea thats what my car was doing then i changed the head gasket and it was fine but now i have more problems to deal with, on a good note my car doesnt smoke anymore
