So i went on my lunch break.. car was running perfectly fine, its a really hot ass day out today. Drove to eat like usual. On my wy back from work, i hop on the freeway, and just play chase with an M3, car is running perfect, i get off the freeway, bust a U-turn, try to floor it to get ahead of some cars coming, and as soon as it hits around 5psi, the car fell flat on its face. So i took it easy crusin it about 35mph down the feeder to my job. As soon as i had to stop to take the turn, the idle was all fucked up bouncing between 100-500rpms.. i give it gas, goes just fine, until it goes into boost. So i parked it, and Look back and as its idling like a V8 with a huge cam, i see puffs of smoke coming out of my exhaust. I let the car run while i checked under the hood, but couldnt see anything noticably wrong. I turned the car off and kept looking, i dont see **** wrong, nothing seems to have popped off of disconnected, but i could be wrong. I checked the oil, its fine, maybe need like 1/2 a quart of oil. Then i un capped the oil filler, and its all white and ****. wth? I wont have time to take stuff apart and look at it til later so i wanna know what i should look for, this is the 1st problem i have had with this car so far.. so im worried.. please dont tell my i popped my motor.. i will be fucked https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif

going outside to do it right now...

thanks vosko!!!1 that bitch had popped off and i didnt notice it, cause the whole line was like almost behind the oil filter, the metal clap that was holding it was super loose and didnt hold **** on, so i slapped a zip tie on it, and the car runs like it did b4... w00t! thanks for reminding me of that! haha https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

any luck with that? that was my first thought. and if it is connected at the sensor, make sure that it is connected @ the manifold as well, it could come off at either spot and you would see the same results.....



how many miles on your motor and turbos, and what are your mods..........

If your oil is turning white, you have water in your oil. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png



BTW- My map sensor came unplugged one time- that's some scary ****.
