Remember a year ago? When I THOUGHT I blew my turbos? Oil was flooding out of the manifold? Smoking EVERYWHERE??





IT WASN'T THE ******* TURBOS OR THE MOTOR.





It's doing it AGAIN.



UN ******* BELIEVEABLE.



I guess the OMP is failing? Like we all thought WASN'T the case before? Cause I DIDN'T go into limp, and didn't get a light?



The car is smoking like **********ing James Bond.. I new it was coming.. Ever since I restarted it, it's been smoking a little more and more..



HAHAHAHAHAH!!! I pulled the GOOD ******* TURBOS to get rebuilt, figured "**** it" and yanked the GOOD ******* MOTOR to get done too.. 13 THOUSAND ******* DOLLARS later, the car HASN'T ******* CHANGED...



Sorry, I'm just a TAD on edge right now..





So, since I've definately bound myself for hell with all the language... Can I unplug the OMP to see if it stops?



I'm NOT premixing, so that can't be it. It's not the turbo feed either.. cause it was doing this with the twins..

you can unplug the OMP. the power FC will just ignore it, the car will run normal. I don't use an OMP, so I know the powerFC will run fine. some mild driving with no omp or premix won't harm anything.



if that cures the problem, just pre-mix. it's a hassle in the beginning, but after a month it becomes normal

Dude...sorry about the luck man. When your driving down the street chirping gears and having a bad *** car it will ease the pain.
