Alright, so i just moved down to florida. Car ran amazing all the way down not really any issues with anything. Just woke up today, came outside and started the car and let it warm up. Went out for a spin, did a small pull in 2nd, and then started cruising in 3rd and 4th. Once i got into 5th and was cruising, I looked in my mirror and saw a plume of white smoke. Pulled off to the side and the car was misfiring at idle but sounds just fine when reving up. Blows tons of smoke when reving it up also now as well. Is my motor gone or could there possibly be something else?

White smoke = coolant = blown head gasket.

No... white smoke doesn't always guarantee coolant.

What kinda turbo do you have? I'd check that to see if its not shot.

Its an fp white turbo. and also im starting to think its possibly something more like a blown ringland, if you take off the oil cap its blowing a ton of pressure out of it.

Id just do a leak down test at a local shop so your 100% sure on what it is. If it's the rings you will know by the smoke test

Check and see if you have any oil in turbo compressor or turbine housing.

just popped the intake off and found a ton of oil chillin in the housing/coupler. I believe we've found the culprit.

Was there any shaft play?

Did a compression test today and the cylinder closest to the driver side (not sure if its 1 or 4) is completely dead. Looks like it's time for rods and pistons.

Anyone know of any reputable shops in the gainesville area thatd be able to do a motor build?
