Help!!! SS runs rough blown turbo?!?
I just got my SS about 2 weeks ago and just the other day I noticed some smoke coming out so I pulled over to the side of the highway and I turned it off. Let it cool down and tried to start it but it wouldn't start. After a 2nd attemp it started but it sounds very rough so I revved it an it would only go up to 4K rpm and I noticed smoke from under the hood. Today I checked the CEL and I have 4 codes
P2261
P0017
P0113
P0302
I turned the car on and it ran rough with some smoke coming out the exhaust
09 HHR SS 94k miles 5 speed
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!
I've had a couple people tell me either blown turbo, oil seals, or headgasket. Car was also a little bit over temp but not so much. Thanks once again

That's quite a jumble of codes. CPS, high IAT, Cylinder 2 misfire and a boost solenoid one to boot.
Any noise from the turbo? What color is the smoke coming out the exhaust? Have you checked the oil and coolant for signs of oil in coolant or coolant in oil? What were you doing when you first noticed the smoke?

I was on the highway stepped on the gas just a little bit and noticed a cloud of white smoke. I have a video but don't really know how to upload

Copy & paste the URL into the "world link" icon.
Sounds like you may have sucked a valve in #2. Compression test first.

to confirm we are dealing with the 2009 SS model year?
white smoke usually indicates a head gasket failure, or there's a new pope!!
what is your coolant level?

First post says: "Car was also a little bit over temp "
How much over ? If you mean by looking at the needle gauge, then it was most likely hotter than you think. The HHR needle gauge is slightly inaccurate since it seems to only move above the normal reading if it is a good ways overheated.
If you meant by the digital gauge, then anything 240 or higher could spell trouble.

If the turbo went you could have had oil and coolant go through the engine since it is oil feed and has coolant going through the bearing area. Coolant would also cause it to miss as well as make it run hot.
My guess is the turbo.
