Does anybody know if e-bay turbo's have coolant and oil for cooling? I would assume its just oil cooled and that would mean da headgasket.

Wouldn't suprise me if it was a blown turbo seal. Ebay stuff = crap.

On a honda maybe not, depends on how bad the gasket is blown. Oil and coolant will give a white bluish smoke. Oil -blue, Coolant- white. Iv seen it a lot on the older supras

I can pretty much guarantee the headgasket isn't the problem unless he is pushing some serious coolant out the coolant overflow resivior. Most of the times i've seen a blown headgasket it would push coolant out the overflow, but wouldn't even really smoke unless it was seriously blown.
