Headgasket leak? Water/Coolant could be seeping through to the combustion chamber... :idea:

yer thought that but i just put the head on with a brand new head and its still doing it and now only after boost so its definatly the turbs, i just took it for a good drive and it only did it after i labourd on to boost then when i took my foot of the excelerator i couldnt see behind me but if i dont boost its very minamal, so i gues now its changing to can the seal on the turbs wear out over time of not use, ie: seal dry up

now how hard is it to change that seal as the turbs is still fine now shaft play at all, and how do i change it

thankyou again et rider
