Default If my Turbo's ARE blown... would it smoke if I reved the car in neutral?
I'm trying to check it this out any way possible without driving the thing and possibly causing more damage.

Default Yes. There would be significant smoke.
Just watch your fluid levels & temps. You should be fine

I REALLY hope its just a coolant leak or something. I'm going to check it out in a minute.

Default Update: Just checked it out again. Fluids are normal, so is oil. Warmed it up - no smoke while
reving in neutral, and no smoke while driving normal, and no smoke while WOT. This car is officially messing with my mind now.

If it was cold out it could have been steam (condensation) coming out of the exhaust.

Default No it wasn't that. I'm used to seeing that and it was much different plus happened after I've been
driving the car for a good while. It was litteraly a hazy cloud of white smoke that filled up a good area behind the car. I'll see what today will bring.

Default oh wow... no not that bad or thick. I guess it must have been something else.
Time will tell I'm sure.
