white smoke at ilde

Sold my modded 04. The kid calls me up a month later and says the car smokes at idle. My guess is turbo seals. Anybody else have this happen?

Did he recently change the oil? He may have overfilled it.

Yeah, he most likely overfilled the oil. I did the same thing once. Just tell him to check the level and then drain accordingly. Then tell him not to worry you about his problems. Haha.
