    Sounds like you might be running rich. What do you use for a fuel management system.

    Yeah, I think we need a bit more information though... is he tuned, his a/f ratio if he is (if he has it), new or used turbo, etc...

    well he says its white smoke so it's just him running rich. try getting your a/f ratio at stoich during full boost and you're gonna be pretty set.

    Yeah and 1.6 isn't right either..... Uh, buddy, what do you ACTUALLY have? BTW Blue smoke is oil, white is coolant. In other words head gasket.

    I live in Central America and we got the 1.6 model, the setup i have is T3 turbo, FMI,2 1/2 exhaust,custom manifold,i researched over the internet and found that it could be the coolant, but i´ve only had the turbo like for a week,also i´ve checked under the car and have seen that some parts are splashed with oil,but all the hoses are securely connected so what could it be

    White smoke = coolant. If it's a blown headgasket, your oil will look milky. How much boost are you running, and what do you have for fuel(injectors, pump, management)?

    are you sure your oil drain line is not leaking??? check the charged pipe...and see if you see any oil on that side of the turbo...then check the manifold if theres alot of oil build up in side then your probably having some turbo blow by....
