Sounds like you have a case of blown turbos.

Hi Grant -- *Definately* not steam!  It lingers (and smells like something
burning).

And, as I accelerated down a street after getting off the freeway, left a
trail of smoke that made some of the cards 50+ yards back impossible to
see clearly in the rear-view mirror.
