    Smoking under the hood after hitting boost

    I noticed ever since I got my car back from the "shop" that I had work on it to go stage 3 the car has been using coolant. no coolant in oil mixture nor visa versa. Well I topped it off with water then let a friend drive it and he beat on it he admitted but once he began driving it normally the car began to smoke terribly from the driver side under the hood., now prior it would smoke a little on the passenger side but now it is almost like something is pouring water right on the turbos how much steam there is. He said he had hit antilag a few times before it started doing it. Smoke seems to be coming from directly underneath the coolant tank. Any idea what it could be?

    Have you looked? If it's that significant of a leak, it should be quite easy to find.

    Then proceed to make new friends.

    I haven't noticed any leaking but the coolant would slowly disappear then noticed a lot of steam after it had been driven and boost was hit.. and yes new friends are a must at this point. second and never let them drive the car haha
