I had problems with coolant leaks and overheating with the car before the turbo system install. After the install, I noticed smoke from the exhaust. I had my technicians take out the turbo and noticed coolant and oil in the exhaust side of the turbo and downpipe. Thinking it was a seal failure internally with the turbocharger, I had sent it back to Turbonetics for a rebuild. With the new one installed, the smoke did not disapate (I was hopeing it was just residual oil and coolant in the exhaust system). I had my technicans road test it to burn out the residual oil and coolant. Upon the return (approx. 5 mins.), the car left a trail of oil on the floor behind it and the sound of rod knock 
. I'm pretty sure the engine was weak from all the overheating incidents and the turbo just put the nail in the coffin 
. Nice end to my day before I go on vacation
