Well for the past few days I've been working on my car because it has been smoking lately (badly). So I ordered another turbo after not finding any problems with the engine and the smoking is still happening with this turbo. It's definetly oil burning and it is burning like crazy out of the exhaust. So I redid my oil return and that is definetly not the problem. Today I started it up and again it was smoking so I checked the plugs. They were dark *** brown and pretty fouled, also when I pulled the #4 cylinders plug smoke came out of it. I'm thinking maybe the ring is bad but I swear when I took the turbo off and went back to the stock mani it didnt smoke. I'm thinking maybe the plug was just so fouled that it wasnt burning the oil that I had from an earlier oil return line problem. I dont know any help would be appreciated. and DAMMIT SHORTYZ ANSWER MY EMAIL!!!! that is all

these turbos that you have been putting on your car are new? or used?

JD

they are used. The tdo5 I just put on only has like 50,000 on it. It might just need a rebuild. I think I'll get it done even if it doesnt need just to keep things so I dont have to wory about them. Oh yeah I'm pretty sure its not a ring, I didn't have any oil on the plugs. I started the car again without the charge pipes hooked up and it still smoked the same. Looked like oil was wetting the the downpipe too.

Maybe a leaky valve seal allowing oil to run down into the combustion chamber. ---- I don't know! I've got serious dain bramage. :P

Has your idle gotten rough or is it the same as before the smoking condition ?

JD

yeah thats wierd. It has gotten a little rough. I havent driven it since it started smoking but I have started it and lit it sit to see if I had fixed it and it does idle rougher. I checked my vacume lines on top of the the intake mani and look fine. You got an idea of what it could be?
