EG6 D16 Turbo Problems

[MrBoostedCRX]

got a friend that just turboed his car today, and for some reason, the BOV wasnt going off, theres enough pressure and everything is tightened up...and we tried 3 different BOV's and nothing...

anothe problem was it smokes white smoke out the exhaust like crazy, theres no oil leak, and the turbo is spooling fine, could it be the worn out head gaskets? i believe he said he didnt rebuild the motor before he turbo'd it...

ill post pics/videos of it tomorrow

he doesnt have time/money

i'm already seeing a problem. smoke? let me guess, it's not tuned and probably on a basemap if the ecu is even chipped. right?

there are not too many places you can tap the vac source on a d-series so just t off the fpr.

White smoke? That's more then likely headgasket.

How many miles does the engine have now?

Should've rebuilt it before going turbo.

100k+ and i know he should of, he said it was rebuilt 5 months ago...but i told him he should of changed things again thanks for the tip, reps

White smoke after turbo install is TURBO. Blown headgaskets normally steam instead of smoke out the exhaust and will normally pressurize the cooling system. As for BOV where is the vac line from the bov hooked up to the motor at. Need to check the drain like for turbo and maybe put a restrictor in the oil supply line.

ok...ill tell him right now, hes in line buying the stuff he needs, and ill ask him where its connected to..its a t3/t4 fat turbo on a little engine...

make sure the bov is ran to a vac. source and not a boost only source.
