And I unplugged the Wastegate and precontrol lines... Guess what?





******* OIL POURED OUT. Like POURED. So my wastegate & **** is full of oil, and I didn't even know... It's not supposed to be like that, right? There was no sign of oil in my intake track (any more than normal) but by **** has oil everywhere... Hang on... Posting pics...

Yeah... A shitload. At first I thought the turbos were blown. I pulled them, they LOOKED fine (till now of course) then thought it was the motor... Started tearing that out... Then fucked with the turbos a little more and found the oil....

I smoke a bit at red lights, not a **** load but enough for me to

notice. I don't have any boost problems, but I have a feeling if I pull

those hoses off it will look like yours. Maybe I'll do it tomorrow. Did

you have any boost problems?..

It's funny cause I smoked alot more before I raced last Thursday. Since then it's pretty

much cleared up.

I had NO boost problems. Car ran fine and pulled hard as hell. Started it one day and it just wouldn't stop smoking... After FULL WARM UP... Still smoked. All blue oil smoke... Drove car. Still drove fine. Came home to find oil puddle in driveway where I let the car warm up... It'd be nice if it's the turbos.... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png
