Message driving down the highway, started to boost it. A shitload of smoke came out, even filled the cockpit, because i had t-tops off but windows up.

Car has had a main or rod bearing knock for about 4 months now. Im pretty sure my piston rings are fried. Basically I am driving this car till it drops so I can put a new motor in it.

The turbos I have are GT600 BB turbos. They have less then 10k miles I would say on them. I have Z1 IC, 550 injectors, everything that is needed to handle and im only boosting like 16-17 psi.

Basically I was testing for a boost leak and it seemed to drop to 13psi during the test. When I pulled over, I seen oil coming from one of the blow off valves, oil is splattered all over the ac fan.

Did I blow my new turbo? If its just the engine im happy, but its the turbo, ima be really sad =( I hope some one is on late becuase I can't sleep until I know.
