I'm new to acura (2011 RDX SHAWD), and new to turbos, but I have an odd symptom. On hard acceleration from stop I see a cloud of white smoke out the tailpipe. The white smoke stop as soon as the vehicle hit's 2nd gear (and perhaps demand for turbo is less). It's below 32'F (0'C) here in case it matters.

I've done a couple of fuel injector treatments , and even a full can of Seafoam top end cleaner sprayed into the intake with engine running. So I don't *THINK* it's carbon build up.

Can anyone comment on whether this is normal behavior for this vehicle/turbos/etc or ideas on cause?

 

Does it evaporate quickly or hang around? Is it all the time or only before the car is fully warmed up? Any specific odor in the smoke? Maybe get someone behind you to check. Once you know all those things it'll give you some direction.
