Well after looking into the smoke and inspecting the cac tubes and valves I removed the cats and found both turbos leaking into the exhaust causing the smoke. I started it up after letting it sit over the weekend and no more smoke for this customer.

That's not good! Glad you were able to isolate the issue and fix it. Good job!

How many miles did it have on it? Any upgrades?
