Man, I think I wasn't mean to be turbocharged or something but I have ran through A LOT of problems. Now it's the downpipe. Thinking that everything should finally be okay, I start the car to check if there were any leaks or what not. For about 1 min. I saw nothing and was laughing for joy. Then suddenly smoke starts coming out between the downpipe and turbo. The smoke becomes to increase. Is this an exhaust leak because it's a pretty horrific sight. Then I noticed between the downpipe and high cat was shooting out smoke too...and of course the exhaust was puffing out some white smoke also. Any suggestions or help would be great, thanks.

nothing is wrong with your downpipe...i'd start by checking the oil return line, making sure its not pinched off, or blocked, also make sure that it drains higher than the oil level...a blockage in the oil line will cause it to overpressure the oil in the turbo= BLOWN UP turbo...if the oil line checks out ok, the check for shaft play...

In addition you may need to check and see if your flanges are warped. Over time they can do this if cheap flanges are used. Take off the downpipe and check to make sure your flange is level.
