Finally happend, something BLEW :(
well, I went into the store for 5 minutes came out started the box up and a ton of WHITE SMOKE started to billowing out the back, after 1 minute it stopped smoking, just got back o my buddies house going to check it out
I think its the turbo, mabe the seal cooled down enough when I went into the store, then when I started it up OIL passed through the seal then after 1 minute of being on, its heated up and sealed??????????
Drive back 5 miles no smoke at all, I will go investigate, either way not good
Blown Headgasket=White smoke?
Blown Turbo= White or Blueish Black smoke?
15,000miles o the turbo, everyone one said it would happen, oh well
KRAFTWERKS FTW
Ill be back, going to try and diagnos

I would have to guess it is the turbo...
I did say a few days ago these little turbos would only last 10-15k on stock compression
did it look like this? just curious, how's your coolant level?

run a turbo timer?
Also, make sure you run a full synthetic oil; I'm sure Mobil 1 isn't one. Full syns will reduce coking but in the end these turbos won't last long on stock compression.
