A no pic. update. A/C is still rocking ice cold even with the temps in the upper 90's these last 2 days!! As for the turbo smoke some times it is there some time it isn't, so I have just been taking it easy on her and just running up to town and back. Checking the oil every time before I...
I vote bad clutch on fan or bad T-stat. When I finished My build this past spring I had the same thing. It would go 3/4 full temp gauge then bam, it would drop, right to normal in 2 seconds.

LOL, I have no idea what is going on!! I decided to start her up just now to take a video of how bad the smoke was and.......nothing, she runs like normal. No smoke! So I drove her around town a little hitting good boost levels and still no smoke. Brought oil temp. up to 160ish and still...
POOF, goes something :cry:. Not really sure what did yet but after some hard runs yersterday she started to blow out blue smoke pretty good. I am hoping the turbo finally let go but I wont find out until I start to rip into her. One good thing is that the compression is still solid accrost...
