To pinpoint the problem, you need to find someone willing to turn a wrench on your car, hopefully you. If the turbo is the source of the smoking, you can remove the lower air hose on the intercooler, and check it for traces of liquid oil going into the intake. If this is clear, you'll need to remove the elbow for the downpipe at the exhaust side of the turbo, and check that for liquid oil traces. If this pipe is also clear, the problem is probably not the turbo.


of course mkiiisupra probably has issues with this advise as well, and will follow up by flooding this topic.........
