I've been trying to diagnose a coolant leak that happens under boost and is causing overheating issues, and more recently started smoking (out of the exhuast). It only happens when flooring it, driving around the city is fine (well it smokes but no overheating). I've personally done a radiator pressure test and compression test and can't figure it out. I've also taken it to a shop and to the dealer...neither where much help.
It started after the install of some 19t turbos (and supporting mods but they shouldn't have any effect on this issue...the supporting mods that is). So I'm wondering if it's possible that one of the turbos is leaking water into the exhuast causing the smoke when it is boosting. So I was thinking about trying to run without the water lines at least temporarily to see if that fixes my issue. I've never run without water cooling before though and wondered what impact it might have? and maybe if there is a how to somewhere.
