Smoking after wot???

Alright let me start by saying my car just recieved a new tranny from tre and was sitting up for about a month and the car did not do this before i got the tranny built. So when i drive it down the road it doesnt smoke at all but when ever it builds boost at wot and when i take it out of gear into neutral it shoots out a big cloud of white smoke?? its a 95 talon tsi awd with a 16g turbo and a 6bolt swap ive been trying to figure it out keep in mind it didnt do this before i put the tranny in.

I'm willing to bet it's not your motor but the turbo. It's probably cracked and coolant or oil is leaking into the exhaust housing. When you go wot your oil pressure builds and your coolant flows faster (pump is RPM dependant) so when you let off all that pressure lets go and is getting shot out your exhaust.

If the "white" smoke appears pure white, it may be coolant.
if it has some dark color mixed in, it may be oil.

Also, does it have a smell?

If it smells sweet, it is likely coolant (assuming you are using coolant and not water).
If it smells like burnt oil, that's probably what it is.

If it is coolant, it may be a head gasket.
If it is oil, it's probably the turbo. <--sounds like this.

I know this doesn't correlate with the new tranny, but it may just be coincidence that it is smoking now. A little more info would be helpful.

Hope this helps.

Thanx for the help. im thinkin its the oil seal on the turbo but how do fix it or how much will it cost to get it fixed??? Ive also been thinkin of putting my 20g on but right now i cant afford a dsm link would it run good with tuning it with a pocket logger??

Pull off you lower intercooler pipe and see if there is oil in it - then report back.
