So today it's a little cooler than any other time i have drove the supra. well I get off work let my car warm up to operating temp. Drive it real easy down to cvs which is about a mile from where I work. I get out of my car while the turbo timer keeps it running for 1minute 30 secs. Notice a white smoke comming from my car, check for "sweet" coolant smell. Nothing. I come out drive directly across the street to bk, and come to a stop, Nothing. Then about 2 minutes later I get it again, it just smells like exhaust, no burning oil smell, or a sweet coolant smell. So I go back to where I work to drop off some food for the guys on late shift. Drive it normal, not easy but not hard, let it idle for 3 minutes minimum and nothing. Drive it the same way home 3 miles away and again nothing while it's idiling. Then I start it and let it run for 10 minutes and again nothing. Anyone know what this can be?

All I can tell you is my seals were bad in my last turbo and backed a bunch of oil into my intercooler/piping. I cleaned it out the best I could but can it still have some oil in there causing it to condense the air and turn it into a watery substance? :cry:

Turbo blue smells sweet iirc, the only thing I know that would make it smell sweet is................. ::bhg::

Edit: But if you think it doesn't smell sweet then I don't know.

It's not a sweet sweet smell. If you have ran turbo blue and then put regular pump gas in, you can still smell a little bit of turbo blue mixed in. Im not sure though, I went out and checked the coolant and not any sign of oil, also took off the oil cap while it was running and nothing but oil. I read about some type of thing that can be rerouted where coolant can leak into your throttle body? anybody know more info on this? Also any diagrams to "reroute" these lines?

Ok guys I want to bypass these coolant lines but don't know how to go about it. I read a post and seen a draw up but I need a real life pic if at all possible. I am hoping to get this done tonight so if anyone can help please do. All help is greatly appreciated.
