Two problems, One car

[JL135i]

Ever since I installed my catless downpipes I've been getting a lot of white smoke (not condensation, because this happens even after the engine warms up), and recently the smoke has been getting persistently worse... turbos going bad?


The other problem that has occurred is that whenever I turn my AC to 4-6 bars, you can hear the fan vibrate loudly in the car and shake the dash... soon to be waterpump failure?


My car has 31k miles (2009), JB4, full exhaust, intake, bov.

It's still running, which I'm happy with... but I want to know if these problems are attributed to the turbo and water pump... funny how I have both problems... the only thing left is for the HPFP... and no problems with that for now haha.



EDIT: most likely it is the turbo seals... and in the event that it is turbo seals...

Which would be a better option? RB turbos or Stock turbos? How much do stock turbos go for?

if u have the n54 and it is turbo related you might be covered under the extended warranty.

are the wastegate and turbo seals the same problem?

Are you getting any codes?

And the bad turbo seals and waste gate rattle are separate issues.

So bad turbo seals wouldn't warrant free turbos huh? ):

no codes so far, just the Catless ones.
