No oil leaks, car runs fine and sounds fine. No turbo whine. Lots of whitish smoke. No codes. Smoke has not been present before today, mods in sig.

Smelled very "exhausty" will check again tomorrow in sunlight. It was billowing smoke; note how can flap was open and left side had no visual smoke. It was not cold out. It is definitely a new condition...

That's not a lot of smoke. Looks like normal smoke from a cold start on a slightly humid night. June gloom has set in on the west coast which means more humid nights. Is there a lot of smoke on decel (between shifts)? Does it smell like oil? Or coolant?

Thats def not "alot" of smoke, esp. If youre catless (on phone app so i cant see mod list). The questions posed by sharkbait will be informative, but that looks more like condensation than anything else.

Just swapped stock downpipes on here with Drew Russell in Lake Forest. He inspected the wastegates with me and said the bushings and wastegates are the worst he's seen. Also, have the start of an oil leak in front turbo feed line, which he said is usually the first to go. Looks like I've got everything I need to get in next week for new turbos!
