Hi everyone,

I have a 2000 Civic SI with a Greddy TD04 turbo charger. The car is a pristine machine, but early today i noticed that when i punch the gas that white smoke comes out of my exhaust. I know that it isn't oil because the smoke would have a blueish tint. There is no smoke when cruising or idling. It's a reasonable amount of smoke, and i am kinda worried. I have already checked for leaks and cant find any...and the turbo peaks at around 7psi.

What should i do next?
Should i be worried?

you're probably running rich. whitish smoke can still be oil or fuel. i doubt it's a coolant leak. are you tuned?

Yes, i am starting to think that it might be a bad seal, but idk

I found the problem, bad seal and some oil was splashing onto the turbo and it was sucking it through.
