Bad blowby...Ideas?
 

I've noticed that my car smokes quite a bit out of the breather (white smoke) when in boost. I didn't notice untill it was on the dyno and i could see the engine...No smoke out of boost though. Does this mean my ringlands took a ----?

Give it a compression test.. remember to add oil if you have some low compression, if the compression spikes up, then you knows it be the rings man.


Is your Positvie Crankcase Ventilation system in check? Have you considered maybe an oil catch can to help with the circulation problems under boost?

just hook up a catch can, some blow by is expected while in boost.

wouldnt worry about it too much. Cars have a certain amount of blow by even without the turbo. Have you ever seen your engine NA hitting 6 grand while rolling. Probably not. You should be fine buddy.

My NA's breather would almost stand up, so to speak, when on the dyno at 7500. It smoked a little, but thats somewhat normal.
