Like it says just got brand new heads, gaskets and everything. Even did studs while i was at it. Been running fine. Havent put 15 miles on it yet but i noticed today when i was backing into a parking spot at the gym a small puff of white came out when i hit the gas. What could this be. Its running fine no weird noise or anything.
Its an 09 with sct. Full deletes and headstuds

is the egr still intact? could be a cracked cooler.



also-was it raining or really humid by chance?

could be moisture trapped in the intercooler, there was a bulletin on that

Egr is deleted with blocker pates. It hasn't done it since. So i stayed screw it. Threw it in race tune and let her have it. No problems runs great. No white smoke. Not pulling the boost i was before the heads and head studs but thats because my transmission is so weak im sure

Might be the turbo.. Mine would send puffs of white smoke only when I turned or left a stoplight.. Turned out I spun the shaft and destroyed my s472. I got it rebuilt and am taking it easy now..
