Smoke on boost
When the turbo kicks in I get a puff of smoke out of the exhaust, I have just changed the turbo as I thought this was the problem but it's still smoking and advice would be great and try not to make it too painful guys....,,

White is water normally, blue is oil.
Was the turbo you bought new or used?
Have you checked all the pipework?
If in doubt, seek professional help (dealer/speciallist).

have you checked for any hg issues? could be lots of things now, take my last bit of advice and go to a professional to get her diagnosed, would have probably been cheaper in the first place than replacing the turbo
