Guest cheshireglanza Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 got my forged engine running last night with td04 turbo took the car out for quick run when i got to set off lights could see smoke coming from under the bonnet pulled over had look in engine bay loads off blue smoke coming from round bottom off turbo it boosted fine didnt over heat what could it be Quote
Guest cheshireglanza Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 yes it is dude i did think it might be the seals but needed other peoples help,would the seals make it smoke really bad? Quote
micky boy Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 If its smoking from the bottom of the turbo it could be the gasket/or it could be cause you have just fitted the turbo and its just burning the access shit off/oil you have droped on it or something.....let it tick over for 20min or so the take it for another spin if you have lots of smoke comeing out of the exhaust when you give it big licks then i would be a bit concerned but you dont you have smoke comeing out from where the turbo is it self Quote
Guest cheshireglanza Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 ^^ cheers micky boy going to give it good run tonight if its still doing it guy who sold me the turbo will be getting call Quote
micky boy Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Not a problem mate just let it warm up for a bit then take it for a spin when the boost kicks in have a look in your rear view mirror for smoke you might get a bit thats normal but if it dose it bad give that lad a call ASAP Quote
ToyotaTech15 Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Did you fit new gaskets with the turbo?They smoke quite a bit on first start upGary Quote
