R33 White Smoke After Turbo Installed

[supersoap]

hey guys kinda new here. i have recently installed a turbo on my 97 r33 gtst

the turbo came off the car last year and has been sitting in my garage until now, ran fine befor that. now that everythings together and i start the car, white smoke starts coming out of the car, it idles fine at around 1 or a bit less. sounds fine no weird noises. i took the car for a quick drive down my street and when i hit 4k revs alot of white smoke came out..

although befor i put the exhaust back on i felt inside the turbo and there was a bit of oil on my fingers after spinning the fan thing, i didnt think much of it till now but im just wondering if my turbo is rooted and im going to have to replace it or could it be something else?

cheers.

white or blue/white?

white will be water, blue/white is oil

i'd say your turbo's rooted

not running water lines to it cause i cant fit them by myself/dont have whats needed.

pretty sure its just white smoke, not sure what blue/white looks like though lol

[supersoap]

so should i take the turbo out and go get it looked at or just replace it?

not running water lines to the turbo... not sure if serious

[supersoap]

So you fitted a turbo that had been sitting in your garage for the past year.

Didn't connect water lines, started the car, white smoke came out?

I dunno, but i recken maybe cause the turbo sat for X amount of time the seals dried up and are now failing?

Take it to get rebuilt or shell out for a newie!

and the fact it isn't being cooled properly probably helped wreck those seals
