ste91 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 turbo maybe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_cl Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 could just be burning up the excess crap from fitting the mani and decat, when i fitted my decat it smoked for a little while then got better, if it continues or gets worse it could be the seals in the turbo which have gone.give a little while and watch to see if it gets worse.

starlybruiser Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Yeah my glanza's exhaust fumes absolutely stink since ive had it decatted and my turbo is fine, i think its just there no decat to take the shite outa the fumes, as for white smoking, most cars do when first started its just condensation, but i surpose if it doesnt go once the car has been run up to temperature it might be headgasket? thats just my opinion, could be wrong.

michael_ngai Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 I have been decat for a week now and the smoke is still coming out. It didnt smoke while first start. I am thinking will it be either the turbo or the head gasket problem Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paul w Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Your turbo is fucked!Clouds of stinky oily smoke is a good sign it's finally gone, very common when fitting a decat as theres less back pressure on the turbo which allows the oil to seep past the worn seals on your turbo. Get on the look out for a new one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
