White smoke

Ok I did a search but didnt find what I was looking for. Anyways put new trans, transfer case in the ty I just picked up and running into issues. I stalled up the truck it went into boost and then I could see white smoke. Truck has been sitting for about 5 years supposely a new 20g turbo on truck. I am guessing bearing/ seal letting oil by and getting into exhaust. Truck does not smoke at idle or light throttle just when I built up boost. No smoke coming from oil fill nothing leaking.

Any ideas??

Re: White smoke

Are you sure it is white or blue color smoke ????
If it is white your burning water or coolant and blue
is oil maybe a turbo leak or blowby in the engine !!! :tup:

Re: White smoke

First thing I did was take off oil cap and no smoke and air wasnt pushing out. Could have been blue couldnt see all that well. Like I said though no smoke at idle just when I put boost to it.

Correct you will only get smoke at boost because of
back pressure in the turbocharger at idle will not have any blowby !!! :tup:

This happened to me when my turbo went bad... well actually, I messed it up by not priming my turbo after my GSX sat for many years. I blew out the seals and cracked the wastegate.
It would only smoke under boost. By smoke I mean SMOKE SCREEN.

Re: White smoke

If they rebuild your turbo center case with new
bearings and seals it can help but i should consider
a complete rebuild unit as upgrade to stock !! :tup:
