Do you run a catch can?





If not, do it! Just run a tube from the filler neck into the can, and let the can vent. When i did this on my car it really did cut down on smokeyness @ startup.



and as a plus you dont have a bunch of **** going back into your motor...

acutally the vent to the filler neck that used to go back to the intake manifold is left open...

came to the conclusion that it could have been the twin turbos leaking oil or the oil metering pump pissing more oil than normal.



then, i eventually blew that motor too... switched to a single turbo and the OMP was eliminated... and it still smokes for about 10 mins at startup. i thought it was the premix, that i put in too much, but i tried different amounts of premix in my gas 1oz:1gal all the way to 0.5oz:1gal. still smoked. switched over the mix to synthetic and nothing changed...



initially i thought the synthetic helped but i guess the weather was just kinda warm.... but no my car is still smokin up on startup.





I know another FDer and his smokes for a solid 15min until warm...If it's a pretty new motor I'd say it would be oil from your turbos....especially if they are original..



I have a single and smoke a little at startup. A minute or two maybe.

My FD does that also , I always thought it was normal though considering the temp difference.
