HELP!! ok.. my turbo swap.. now smokes once its warmed up then stops!!! grrr


Recommended Posts

Ok.. after finally getting everything tuned out perfectly with my car..

 

NOW it smokes once it warms up.... when i start it, the car runs fine and no smoke, then after driving for a bit and the exhuast is warmed up, it smokes.. white/blue smoke.. BAD... then goes away...

 

my assumption is there is oil coming out of the turbo on shut down, and sits inside the exhuast pipe. Then when I start the car up again and the exhuast warms up it burns.. hence the smoke..

 

I checked the intercooler piping and no oil residue or anything so i'm not sure if its a bad turbo oil seal or what?!?

 

Help me!!

I sounds like a turbo leak. If you were burning oil in the cylinders you would smoke as soon as you turned the key. When I put the wrong rings in my engine as soon as I started it it smoked. When I put the right rings in, the car wouldn't smoke when it started but when it got hot enough the excess oil in the exhaust would burn out.
