Heres the deal. Stock turbo died, got another stock turbo and it died, there is a rattling sound that is somewhere around the manifold/turbo/water pump area and ALOT of white smoke coming from the exhaust. The turbo problem i got some help with people said there is an oil feed problem. I have no idea why there is so much white smoke please help.

 

head gasket maybe?

 

The rattleing sound what could that be?

 

no, the white smoke

 

Is the head gasket very difficult to replace or can i do that myself?

 

you can do it with a friend or two, when was the last time the water pump or timing belt has been changed?

 

the head gasket is actually a slight challenge to even GET to in one of these DSMs. There is a lot of crap you have to take out just to get the head off.
White smoke is definately caused by a head gasket...there is really nothing else that causes white smoke except burning coolant.

rattling usually means something is loose. Unless one of us were able to actually inspect your engine bay, none of us could really tell you exactly what is rattling. Just look for loose things.

 

I've had the car about 2 years and havnt changed either since. Sounds like a belt is slipping but have been having bigger more expensive problems
