my car is still smoking. I was wondering if it is possible for coolant from the turbo to enter into the exhaust or the intake through any seals.

doubtful. What does the smoke smell like? If it smells like coolant, then it is. But if not, it's likely oil.

Not sure what was discussed before. I'm too lazy to look.

Intake--yeah it could happen--but only on some cars.Is this for a ka? I wouldnt even use coolant lines for the turbo if that is the case. Just use the oil lines. Also--if its smoking--just take them downpipe off and run your finger around the inside--if its got oil in it--then it shaft seals mang.
