Well maybe i can share some info that might help. Installed a catch can at 1k miles then deleted and ran vta by 3k miles. Did an intake fual bar and noticed oil ALL over the intake manifold from only 3k on catch can miles meaning intercooler was coated too hurting cooling capability. Coolant wise i took a fine sharpie and marked my res level cold and 16k miles later havent had any drop. I get white smoke in winter (arizona get 40deg in AM) but on start up if i notice smoke i cup my hand at the exhaust and smell for the signature sweet smell and still get nothing. Just make sure to accurately keep track of your coolant level through the res. Another thing i do that might help some ppl is when im at a light by myself throw it in reverse and look at the camera on the center console. This was how i noticed my stock turbo was starting to smoke.
