Re: Smoke from mani
 

Is this a new setup? Everytime I change an exhaust mani Boosted or n/a they always smoke for a while, its just the oils and contaminents and everything being burnt off, takes a few heat cycles most of the time, dont know if yours is new or not, my old chkara took a good 45 min to ---- off and burn

its been happenin' for a few months.

Re: Smoke from mani
 

didnt you just say you reinstalled the ---- again...maybe it got a nice coat of oil when your ---- was fubar and its not done burning off

I've had the same issue when I changed the turbo and head gasket on one of my cars. All you're seeing is the oil and grease or other conatminates that may have been put onto the manifold during fabrication or maintainence. Mine smoked for about 500 miles until it stopped.

This may not be your exact scenerio, but just one possibility.
