Rep Power: 0 White Smoke out the exhaust
I have recently purchased a 2006 Honda Civic Si with a Greddy Turbo kit already installed but the previous owner never tuned it. So I was wondering if that could be the reason why it blows white smoke out the exhaust when its in idle and sometimes while it drives.The smoke smells like gas. I checked my antifreeze and oil and both are perfect level. My head gasket and valves are perfect and there are no leaks what so ever in the car. So could it be the turbo needing to be tuned? Other than the white smoke the car runs great!
If so does anyone know of any Tuning places for Civics in Indiana?

I've heard you can blow white smoke from running lean. Getting a tune or swapping the ECU can/has fixed the issue. White smoke is typically a gasket/coolant/head problem, but if all your fluids/temps are good, then I'd go with the tune.
