well, there’s the burnt oil coming out of my tail-pipe, annnd, the engine wasn’t burning anything before. now that the turbo’s on, i’ve got burnt oil coming out of my exhaust, well, i think it’s oil, it’s white smoke, but it doesn’t have that “sweet” smell to it, could that be coolant? thanks.

Ye, white smoke means coolant. Blue means oil.

yep, i sure did!! 😃 lol. i was planning on buying a newer KA in a month or two, thought the rings would last at least till then. would they go this soon though? like i’ve only run half a tank of gas through it.
