Hi, I got a calibra 2.0 turbo, I havent started it for about a week, and when I recently started it and took it for a spin there was alot of smoke from the exhaust when it was stood at lights or a junction and when its iddling on the drive.I aint loosing no water or not overheating either, so I dont think its the headgasket as I had that done 6 months ago.I go a dtm exhaust on it, and I was wandering if alot of water had got in the exhaust. Thanks charlie

What colour is the smoke? If blue this will be oil, possibly from the turbo oil seal, valve guides/stem seals or a faulty oil control ring. If it has not been run for some time, give it a service & filter change and see how it goes.
