Thats like mine except if i rev mine a bit it clears it out and then its gone unless i leave it idling for a long time again, like on warm idle it will come in sessions not constantly....i've been told its the turbo but only time will tell, your problems dont convince me though as for the valve seals, thats what I though, my old mazda I would start it up, it would bellow it out for 30 seconds tro a minute on the first start of the day, then nothing for the whole day.
-
I see mate, could be either your exhaust system is less restricted than his, could be PCV valve,pr could be stem seals. Whip the plugs out and check for oil on them or oil down the cylinders if you look with a torch? If you leave it 5 mins and it starts smoking, does it stop at all if you leave it? I'm assuming its blue smoke?
-
did he run a cat or a decat, decats can be known to cause oil to slip past the seals due to the loss in back poressure, so if he was using a cat and you're using a decat it could explain it Also a good point.
-
hmm are you sure the new turbo isn't goosed also?Are you using a decat and was the other lad using a cat? I made a topic about this a few months ago and everyone said turbo, ive just bought a recently reconned turbo in the hope it may be solved, but maybe not :/
-
What mileage you on? when does the smolke appear and does it stop at all? How about when you first start it up in the morning?

Could you show me a picture of this part please mate? And also where did you get it from?
-
Basically web your wastegate opens it dumps these exhaust gases straight out the screamer pipe rather than back into the exhaust
-
Loguey that sounds about right haha N yeah thats a good idea lol, ways an air chamber?
-
That's the thing it's got absolutely nothing except minute surface rust on like steering components, all the rest Is under sealed and I don't want to have a rust bucket in a few years lol

Haha I know and as long as I help out I shouldn't have to foot a Lot of the bill lol N yeah I know what you mean, we used to have a big garage but it was rotten so we knocked it down, I now have a really long drive, has space for one car out front, and enough for 7+ cars along the side/back of the house, gutted I have to move Out eventually but family problems means unless I win the lottery I can't stay lol
-
That's what I thought but the logics there lol, and looking on google people say its true but I dunno Since my old car rusted I have a serious fear of it lol, but I've got time To decide before we get anything sorted, shame there's not really room for both lol
-
Got a powerflow full system you can have for £65 plus delivery?
-
I may be moving house shortly and the decision is either to expand the rather small driveway and put gates across, or make the driveway into a largeish garage. I've been told however if you park a car in a garage when it's wet this accelerates rusting of the car quite dramatically? Is there any truth to this at all as I'm unsure what to do with the area ATM?
