Smoke after hitting boost
What would cause blueish white smoke only after hitting boost?
Is my turbo done or do i need a catch can?
Car has stock k04 with bolt ons and tune.
Doesnt smoke when reving or when regular driving.
Compression test went
1-120psi
2-150psi
3-155psi
4-120psi
No oil on spark plugs which is good and also the Oil is not milky at all.
Any input and advice is much appreciated

broken ring land's on 3 out of 4 pistons ( i know i know common problem)

Turbo seals are probably toast. Although 1 and 4 do have compression lower than normal. But I say turbo because mine was doing the exact same thing and I already had a ZFR so I swapped them and when I did, I left my k04 sitting on a workbench with the turbine facing down and intake of the compressor sitting straight up. The next time I picked it up, there was oil dripping off my turbine wheel.

with compression test numbers like that...looks like 1 and 4 have possible broken ringlands
You want no more than 10% difference between the numbers. Drop some oil in on 1 and 4 and see if the numbers increase...if they do then your ringlands are toast
Also...start the car and take the oil cap off. if smoke comes out...motor rebuild time

Will do
Most likely going to be rebuild with how low the compression is

No, i got mad and put it back together and drove home. Going to be parking it and pulling the engine.
Should have it back running within a few months.
I'll document it and make a thread lol

all i have as far as stock turbo parts are upper, downpipe, and intercooler.
depends on my fianances next month i will most likely just do the zzp ready to go LNF rods and pistons.
also depending on the damage
i noticed this morning that the check engine light would flash a few times and then stop.
missfire?

if not it would specifically give a cylinder, for example 301 - cylinder 1, 302, cylinder 2....and so on.

Smoke after hitting boost
Flashing CEL indicates misfire count exceeding a set number that can be damaging to the cat(I want to say it's 50 or 75) and that's total misfire so it could be a single or all cylinders
