After Everything...I think I blew the hg again...I took my car around the block not even gunned it hard... and then when I came around..my car turned off ...i turned it back on...and ..there was white smoke coming out of the exhaust...do you think that I maybe put it back together wrong...? What should I do..?

Any temperature spikes? Loss of coolant, oil? Check engine error codes. How many miles on the turbo? Does the smoke come out with the motor hot and cold?

The thing was I started my car up on Saturday..everything seemed ok except my exhaust seemed to be popping...like there was something wrong the the timing...check engine light was on...had codes 21 & 22... temp gauge was not working...
drove the car on sunday...like 15-20...my friend was behind me and said that there was a little bit of black smoke coming from the exhaust...didnt move the car...yesterday...i turned it on..took it around my block...not even gunned it all the way...probably at 4500 rpm...then my engine turned off...turned it back on and there was white smoke..from the exhaust...
I'm thinking its a bhg...
turbo was replaced just a couple months ago...
What all did you do when you replaced the head gasket before?
Check the block and head BOTH for flatness?
MHG or Composite?
New head bolts (preferrably ARP head studs)?

I replaced the hg...took the head to a machine shop...cleaned the the block..used ARP studs...and torqued it down to 75lbs...
Ok. How much boost was you using? I'm assuming the block wasn't very flat, the head wasn't torqued down tight enought, or you were pushing way too much boost. Did you use a copper sealant spray or permatex brake quiet?

Not alot...i mean...i was not even running my car that hard...probable ust a couple of lbs....8lbs...my best guess....at the most...
I used copper sealant spray....man...this really sucks man...
