Didnt get a chance to, prolly gonna happen tomorrow. But Im pretty confident that it is the turbo now...I could be wrong. The car sat for almost 3 weeks and when I fired it up the other day, it didnt smoke, it let me free rev to about 5 grand 2 or 3 times and it didnt smoke... then on all other free revs and while driving it started to smoke. im thinkin oil was not yet circulating through the turbo so it wasnt smoking. If it was the motor it would have started right away and would have been more smoke because oil would have been sitting there for a while...?

I've noticed my car smokes when it idles for a lil while. It only happens when idling or when I let off the throttle. If the car idling and I tap the throttle it stops everything is running good fluid levels are fine and no smoke coming out of the dipstick. Any ideas what it could be?
