head gasket maybe on my turbo gsr?
Is your car even overheating? You're just getting white smoke? From where? Exhaust? Does the car run like shit? Help us help you. You don't even know if it is the head gasket. Stop going over the worst case scenario. The funny thing about cars is it's usually the simplest thing. Have your cooling system pressure tested. The test can't cost very much. That should give you some ideas as to what the fawk is wrong.
If you're adamant that it's your head gasket: Run the car with the rad cap off. Look at the coolant in the filler neck. Is it bubbling? Do you smell exhaust? If so, it's probably the head gasket. To confirm this: Go to an emmissions shop and have them put the sniffer probe @ the rad filler neck... If you get HC's (hydrocarbons) there, well it's head gasket time.
