I was hoping someone could shed light into my little problem. I have an 04 STI running on a kakimoto catless exhaust. About 2 days ago i noticed white smoke comming from somewhere under the top mount intercooler area and possibly around the turbo area. White smoke is also comming out from the exhaust. Looks like my car is about to blow when i'm stopped at a red light...it sucks. Any suggestions would help greatly
Thanks,
Gee

 

it does look like your car is about to blow. get it checked out. i wouldnt drive it until you do.

 

turbo seal is my guess

or engine rings

but turbo seal is my guess


or too much oil in the crank case

check the blow by
how long has the exhaust been on ?

 

Yup, sure enough it was the turbo. Everyone that seen the car, all say my turbo is shot. So good thing the 1st owner had purchased the extended warranty. Bad thing is, I gotta put all the stock parts on before I take it to the dealership. They do cover the turbo right? Why cant there be mod friendly dealerships like mitsubishi....And to sigma.....the exhaust has been on the car since 2004. Thanks for the info

 

DAMN I AM A GOLDEN GOD!!!!!


yeah no big deal

i would just put a bigger turbo in

no clue about the warrenty i didnt get the extended one

 

*fixed*
