ok i have intake full exhaust and an afc. I just took my airpump off and put on a midpipe and now my car smokes. its mostly at light throtlle from 1k-3k ill rev it up and smoke comes out the exhaust. i have it leaned out about 7-8% in the 1k-2k rpms which makes the car idle better and less smoke but it still smokes a little...help!!

You'll always have some oil in the pipes- just part and parcel of turbo operation- some will get past the seals and over time will form a film inside the intake pipes.



All of my turbo cars have done this. Of course, if it's excessive then the turbos could be on the way out, but you will notice heaps of smoke from the exhaust if that's the case.

from what i hear, oil in the intake pipes and intercooler pipes is normal, as long as its not excessive dripping oil
