    Default Integra type R smoking

    Alright. i have a boosted C5 in my teg, and it smokes here and there in boost and vtec range, but here recently i noticed that when i take off after a stop when i give it gas it'll blow out a poof of smoke, and sometimes when i come up to a stop it'll smoke a bit out the exhaust then stop. the smokes a white-sh grey color. could that be my turbo seal has gone bad?

    Check the inlet piping for oil.. But I'd lean more towards valve seals/guides, check that by removing the exh manifold and looking for it to be wet..

    Usually turbo seals love to burn oil @ idle too. Id wager its time for some rings, valve seals, or new valve guides.
