Turbo, RTV, Block off plates, and advice...

[vex]

I"m leaning more and more everyday to my coolant seal letting go. It makes sense as the car dives fine one minute and as soon as it warms up it runs like it's on one rotor. I think the rear coolant seal is letting go, hence why the plugs are continually soaked when I check them when the problem occurs. I also have a rather large plum of smoke when I start the car when it sits and feels like it needs to clear it's throat.

Does that fit the symptoms pretty accurately?

It's a possibility. You could possibly have an injector that's getting stuck open, too, but I haven't witnessed that before, I'm not exactly sure how it would manifest itself.
