    So I took the car for a test drive. Anytime I get into boost I get white( it's night so my best guess) smoke coming out of the exhaust. I know white smoke is coolant.There is no white smoke at Idle or normal cruise. I only got into boost 3 times for about 3 seconds each. Could this just be a little bit of coolant that got in there while I was working on it? I find it hard to believe it's a blown head gasket from the time I started working on my car a few days ago.

    My guess right now is some coolant is leaking from my ic(maybe around the hoses) and is going into the LIM. Then when i go into boost it pushes the coolant into wherever it goes to get to the exhaust.

    Pulled out some of the coolant from my IC so there shouldnt have been any left in the core and took it for a test drive, got into boost 4 times for a few seconds each. Still had the same amount of white smoke coming out of the exhaust.

    I used 2 new felpro gaskets when i put the build together the last time. Looks like ill be taking it apart again tomorrow. Ill check back in here when i wake up to see if anyone posted.
