car smoking after running it hard
I've noticed that every time I get into full boost and just basically run the car hard I get a bunch of smoke as soon as I let off the gas. I checked the charge piping for oil and found none and I even checked my compression and all cylinders seemed just fine. The turbo seems fine, but it is old and I thought it might have been on its last leg, but then again, I didn't find any oil in the charge piping and it still spools pretty decently. 14b hits full boost on my 2.0L at around 3500. What do you guys think is wrong, could it just be that I'm running way too rich or what?

if the seals are going bad ur not alway going to find oil in the charge pipes its prob leaking from exhaust side..check ur downpipe for oil and take off the exhaust side of the turbo and see if there is any oil in there also if there is u know u got blown turbo seals

most likely your oil seals are bad on the turbo.. mine does the same thing.
I think running high oil pressure did it to mine because there was absolutely no oil in or around the turbine and it didn't smoke at first
now I have a .060" hole restricting oil and it's not burning much any more. I don't even notice it until I rev it up at a stop.
