White smoke could be a sign of coolant(antifreeze) leaking into the combustion chamber. First check the overflow bottle, if you see brown thats bad. If it is clean the next step to do is do a compression and leakdown test on the cylinders and report your results. The harness thing makes no sense at all pertaining to this. And 80 miles for a quarter of a tank sounds about right if your driving the car hard and racing all the time lol.

If you are running the turbonetics ecu flash for EMS your motor is probley gone. And I get about 14 miles to the gallon with 600cc injectors.

its probably just the turbo seals on the turbo. it is very common with turbonetics and wont cause the engine to run poorly cause it leaks out into the exhaust.


you can also check the return line from the bottom of the turbo to the upper oil pan to see if it is kinked at all.

Could be either, oil is usually more blueish tho, could also be fuel, but he said it drives fine. Id the spark plugs are out do u have pics?
