Well if there is blue smoke your burning oil, so do a dry/wet compression testsand leak down to see what is causing the smoke. I would figure out what do need before you go out buying a complete engine when you might only need valve stem seals or something.

theproblem is your trying to put a turbo on a crappy motor. just sell your rs and buy a GST. you wont be able to make more horsepower than a stock GST anyways.....

I tried to buy a gst and there was one for sale but it didn't last long so I've been looking and have seen nothing that is anything like a GST so I'm forced to keep my rs and put turbo on it I heard that an rs-t can kick out 300horses is that true?

If you have 8-10 grand to spare, sure.

It would be cheaper to buy a 400hp GSX 1000 miles away, fly out there, and drive the car back.

so how much hp can a stock motor push out? an why does every one seem to hate on the RS and GS if i could i would hve bought a gst or a gsx but there where none in my area at the time!! and still its hard to buy becuz im a student who makes little or no money with the job i have so i have had the car checked out he says he thinks it the valve seals and is fixing it so monday it should be done but shld i put turbo on it or not!!?

Ok umm no one hates on the gs/rs cars, it people like you who dont understand how much work and $$$ is involed in what your saying. If your a student and have no money what would your guess be...DO NOT TURBO YOUR CAR.
