yep, white smoke,no boost,no usual warning signs. I started the car this morning and there was tons of smoke. No crazy boosting or anything. So now I'm on the side of the road, posting from my iPhone,waiting for aaa. I'm at 135128 miles

I'm assuming you were on ko3's? Where they original?

Damn man i hate reading these posts. Im about to hit 160k miles on the original k03's and im just hoping that these are some of the few non-shitty k03's that BW put out lol

Good luck on getting it fixed. Were they not making any noises or anything before they blew? No signs at all other than white smoke?

nothing....pure surprise. And I'm pretty sure these are the second set of ko3s in this car because the engine has been pulled before

Same thing happened to me just before Xmas, same happened just off idle no warnings just a smoke show. Car is still down hopefully in the shop soon, almost have all the parts, fingers crossed UPS comes to see me today for the last of it.

How many miles on your car, and were they original k03's?

sorry to hear about that. I have 96k on my original ko3's which is impressive due to the fact that i have been running GIAC since 2002

96 & original k03s but I was running APR stg 2. Seriously anyone who buys these with original turbos and no reserve fund set aside is gambling big time.. luckily i bought the car with the notion they were going to blow and I was fairly prepared $ wise, happened earlier then i thought but still no surprise.
