Exhaust has a lot of smoke after car warms up

Ok I'll check those guys out. Thanks -
I will check all that out Wednesday night hopefully but what exactly should I look for in those locations? Vivi thanks for your input. It happens in All the gears only when I let off the gas. My truck is stick shift, older than hell but doesn't make the vibrating or loud noise. It just slowly decelerates.

Thanks to you guys car is running a lot better. Since I'm driving it more I noticed something odd today that i have been ignoring. Noise always there but starting to fix all the little things I wanted to get done. When I'm driving car and have to let off gas the transmission makes a rough and loud noise and I can feel the car vibrate all over until I push the clutch. Once the clutch pedal down car just slowly decelerates without that noise. Doesn't matter what gear I'm in. If I let off gas pedal for whatever reason and noise present the moment I push gas pedal again the noise is gone or if I put in neutral at any speed the noise goes away too. Any ideas on what's causing that noise?

I am currently running the car with a 19c turbo and 3in open exhaust. where can I find the exact rebuild kit and will it include everything i need even the Turbo wheels( the fan looking wheels inside the turbo). what is a good price for the kit also and one more thing what is a common problem people have when rebuilding turbos? tricky to get some things apart or easy to damage something when and if I take it apart?. thanks in advance -

Yes it's sweet. You can definitely tell its coolant burning through the turbo or tb. My turbo starting to gobble to. Can I rebuild it myself? Is it hard to rebuild? Am i going to need specialty tools? -

Sorry guys we all know with these cars when we have a problem we want to find a solution right away. Anyway been on this site for yrs and always been helpful just sometimes it's hard to determine the problem when we actually can't see what's happening. You guys helped out and didn't even realize because the other post I found made me look at things I didn't think of looking at before. My point keep up the awesome work done on this great site. -

i just did i full upper engine rebuild on the car. all new gaskets. During the rebuild I found a turbo coolant line that was caked with hard gunk in the line, i tried to clean and in the process the line cracked in my hand. It looked as if the turbo had never got any coolant from that line before the rebuild. anyway i installed new line and everything looked good. I didnt have any issues with the car. after rebuild it started right up and ran good. A little hiccup here and there but I just fixed that problem today. Timing was off and The vac adv line wasnt installed on correct port on TB. Well when the car warms up it starts smoking alot when its just running and parked. Im pretty sure its coolant burning up. the color of the smoke almost looks blue/white. Is it possible the turbo coolant is blowing by and burning up in the turbo?? how can I find out where its burning? Is the smoke something else? Any ideas where to start and look?

Your post just fixed my timing issue. Thanks for the great pics.

No one wanted to help but most importantly I didn't give up. The problem was the vacuum line on distributor was hooked up to wrong port on the throttle body. Accidentally stumbled over a post and saw a picture of hose locations and just decided to check mine and what do you know installed hose in wrong port. Problem solved and distributor timing set successfully at 10btdc. Thanks to all who read my post. -
Great post and well explained. Thanks
