03 VIII stock 16g

a little background before i asked a few questions...I recently bought a few engine mods for my 03(30k miles)... ic pipes, fuel pump, intake and megan 02 housing.(already have a tbe) I also installed an apexi avcr...i also got a mail in flash from dynoflash for the tune... After i got the car back together and set up the boost controller for 22 psi(spools to 22, falls to 20 holds till redline) After going wot the car smokes really bad. i did another pull and it did the same thing after decel it smoked really bad... i checked the ic pipes and theres oil in the ic pipes and the fmic...the smoke smells the like oil and and bit sweet(like burning coolant) now here are my questions..
where would i get a rebuild kit for an 03 16g turbo(dont have the money to replace)
also, would a turbo leak coolant as well as oil if it were blown?
any info would be help. thanks

What color is the smoke?

Blue - Oil
White - Coolant
Black - Running really rich

If there's oil and coolant in your FMIC, I would guess you have turbo issues as you suspect. The turbo has both coolant and oil flowing through it. I don't see how a blown head gasket could do that against incoming airflow. Either turbo or gasket failure could cause burnt oil and coolant to blow out the exhaust as light colored bluish gray smoke.
