Question
well i dont really have a bmw but its something with the motor of my car so im pretty sure its all the same. well i have recently installed a turbo kit. after installing it i tried to push it. open throttle. once the turbo reached full boost at about 3200 rpms the car looses rpms. i was told a big white puff of smoke came out. i know it is most likley running lean. we un plugged the injectors and did not notice a significant change in performance. so im pretty sure its the extra injectors that came with the kit are not firing. i was just wondering if there also coule be any other underlying problems. thanks alot.

Answer
Not knowing what type of car it is makes this hard.The white smoke coming out of the exhaust maybe a problem with the head gasket, as that is what happens when coolant enters the system. I need to know the type of vehicle it is to help you any further.
