White Smoke because o2 sensor missing?

[gr3y]

If this happened right after the dp install then its gotta be the sensor. Funny part about it is i broke my first 02 sensor when i did my dp. $350 dollars later i have a new one. FACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bull crap my car only has 4k miles on it and the sensor would not come out.

Apparently dealers were doing it too, lol.

Just out of curiosity, wouldn't it throw a CEL if the sensor was screwed up? I just did my DP install and mine is smoking like crazy. I didn't have a problem with the sensors (luckily) so I am ASSUMING they are in working order and the problem lies with the turbo seals. Like I said, wouldn't a jacked up sensor throw a code?

im aware that few have had problems with the turbo seals going bad but in most cases this whiteish gray smoke is normal when you remove cats, The metal sweats and makes steam mixed with exhaust gasses spewing out small clouds of white smoke once in awhile. if the problem comes and then goes away its mostly not the seals going bad, but if the problem continues every time you drive then its most likely the seals.
