turbo issue
a few months ago after i installed the catless DP, i started to get a massive blue/white smoke from exhaust when i stop for the first traffice light on a cold start. After that massive smoke cloud, I wont see it again till next cold start.
Now I get smoke coming out whenever I stop the car, but when I am driving/acclerating, I wont see any smoke at all. I suppose my turbos are out and getting worse and worse, apart from turbos leaking oils, anything else that I need to look into? Thanks!

Pretty standard with turbos > 50K miles. Mines been doing it for 6 month or so. Most likely your turbo bearings are shot out and are leaking oil onto the hot turbos causing smoke. Since my pipes are divorced I was able to pinpoint the turbo (front). Seems to be the front turbo in most cars causing the smoke.
