about a month ago i was driving my car and i got home, later on that night i went out to find all my coolant on the ground??i took the turbos off and they were junk, coolant caked on the walls of the turbine housing chipped wheels, the works. while i was driving my car before it would smoke from under the hood. it was white smoke and my coolant would be low quite often. now that the turbos are off do you think the turbos were burning the coolant or could it be the engine... i had good vac the whole time ..around 16-19 inches. before i go and rebuild the engine i just want some advise..thanks

Damn dude....DON"T drive the car anymore! If you have a coolant leak find it. Check the radiator hoses first,.........

If there is doubt run a pressure test on the coolant system. Does the car have a rough idle or any other symptoms of coolant seal failure?

check your coolant level make sure its coolant first,
