Cool no boost and white/blueish smoke out of exhaust on idle

So after I went to the track yesterday and did 2 runs something poped while crusing in to tge pit lane and I lost boost and white/blueish smoke started pooring out off the exhaust on idle. First thing we thought was maybe licp pooped off. That did not happend. Second would be the turbo it selfe. I have a 1.5 year old fp hta green with about 3k on it. On the way home I bought couple quarts off oil so I can add some on the way home (90mil to home) but I was not burning any oil. It smells like coolant? Please give me your opinions of what could be wrong with my car. I am going to have it checked out tonight to see what it is. I will do a boost leak test and compresion test and also turbo for shaft play. Thank you guys in advance.

Check to see if you have coolant mixed in the oil. So loook and see if the oil cap looks milky. You may have popped your head gasket...

Well it was an easy diagnose. Turbo seized up. Now I have to wait for 10 years for FP to rebuild it. That is why a soon as I get it I am selling it. I just dont want to deal with "fast service" from FP. Damn anothet season down the drain.

Amen to that bro. It took them over 4 months to rebuild my 9 turbo into a green when I was told 3 weeks from the start lol. Let me ask you....what kind of oil did you use? What oil feed line were you using? and what boost were you running? Just interested...I'm taking every precaution with my green...using expensive amsoil zrod and using the fp oil line...but I run 27-28psi

I dont DD my car so wih that said I just realized I only have less than 1500 mil on it. I use amsoil and fp oil lines, but I boost 30 psi. I think it took FP to upgrade my 9 to green about 4 months also. I am thinking new gtx3076r would be a good replacement plus I dont have to deal with FP
