Yup.. sounds like a headgasket.. Hopefully you have a better mastery of cars than you do of the English language.

well, there are two possible causes here.... why not check the easy one first.... pull the turbo out and look at the turbine seal for any sign of blown shaft seal...... Also, the positioning of your oil return line is detrimental..... shit might even be kinked...

its because of the turbo , When i start my car up, it smokes very little in the beginning but then after wards its fine. If you remove your turbo and start it up , you will see that the car is fine

do us a favor and put a big hose over your muffler tip and put it in your mouth then have your "homeboy" as you would call it, get in your car and push the gas peddle to the floor till you pass out. Hopefully that will fix your brain cells to write proper english then maybe someone might take your questions seriously.
