This Past weekend i Tore up some weak a$$ WRX/STI inbetween lights (it was all less than a 1/4mi. from light to light...)

I didnt even really floor it or get close to Redline in any gear...But when i got to the light there was nothing but SMOKE,,,Alot OF Smoke...like burnt oil white Smoke...Since then it hasnt stopped smoking on and off....?

***Things you should know is my Turbo (turbonetics T3/T04B) is about 6yrs old now and has been going bad and slightly leaking from what seems the Compressor seal... also I noticed the leak has reached the 1st section of my intercooler piping coming from the Compressor...

Could All the smoking be from the Turbo gone bad? Or did I mess up something Internal??? I cant really get into boost at all anymore but car still driving regular smooth And has NEVER Overheated .[/align]

 

doesnt matter, you still have to maintain the turbo, and depending on the quality of the turbo depends on how long/how many miles it can be run granted i think a lot are suppose to last for 75k but either way internals break down/wear out and thats why theres turbo rebuild kits

 

Was it white smoke or blue? If it was white then I'd be looking for a coolant issue, blue I'd start checking compression.
