First off new parts on the car include:
head rebuild (including new valves and valve seals) about 15k miles ago
16G turbo about 10k miles ago

When I get on the gas I leave a smoke cloud behind. It just started this not too long ago. I also noticed Im using oil. I have a small oil leak but I doint think its enough to lose as much oil as im losing.
Any ideas whats goin on??

compression test? :shrug

edit: are you tuned? Are you sure its not just water vapor?

Ya im getting a comp. tester from my dads place hopefully this weekend.
Im tuned close. Im still getting a little knock so it shouldnt be running rich right?? :shrug

EDIT: what color is the exhaust smoke if its water vapor??

what color is the smoke? also at idle do you see any smoke from the engine bay? it's either gonna be the turbo, headgasket, or you have a healthy oil leak drippin on your downpipe/exhaust

EDIT: Water vapor should be white/fast dissipating smoke

How about instead you tell us the color of the smoke and we will tell you what it is? :)

20 bucks says its the turbo! the SAME exact things happened to my car and I had to send my turbo out, check to see if your turbo spins freely, btw, my turbo had 4k miles on it.
