Trinda1664 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Hello When i am going along in boost and i release my foot a lot of smoke is coming out of the exhaust. The car is also burning oil. Has the oil seals gone in the turbo?If they have what is the best think to do?Also when the car was brought I was told the actuator is at 1bar and the standard hi/low boost controller is not working. How can I connect the boost controller back up?Any help would be appreciated.ThanksDan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollie ryan Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 if your burning oil mate more likely piston rings Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trinda1664 Posted September 10, 2011 Author Share Posted September 10, 2011 Surely if it was piston rings it would smoke constantly?It doesnt smoke when driving at low revs but only when you drive in boost is smokes.ThanksDan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neilsmith Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 This is probably your turbo mate, also you cant plug the hi boost low boost in with an adjustable actuator you would have to get a standard one, i happen to have one for sale Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollie ryan Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 i have had oil seals go and it got through near enough no oilpiston rings drank oil! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trinda1664 Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 Thanks for your replies, I have been doing a bit of reading and it sounds like it is the oil seal on the exhaust side. Is there a test you can do to check piston rings? Can I just put on a standard actuator and plug in the standard hi/low boost and drive away or will it have to be remapped?How much for your actuator?ThanksDan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 if you do a compression test mate that should show if piston rings have gone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trinda1664 Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 Ok i will do a compression test in the next couple of days. Approximately what should the results be on the compression test? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TurboTom Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Just check the compression is fairly the equal in all cylinders There will be all over the place or there will be one that is way out if there is an issue Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neilsmith Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I would say its the exhaust oil seal mate.Compression test should be between 150-200 and make sure they are all roughly the same as said above.£20 delivered including paypal fees for the actuator, pm me if u want it.cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TO82 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 You need to use a T peice with the HKS Actuator to use the stock boost solenoid, check the link last photohttps://home.comcast.net/~ronald_miranda/hksactuator.pdf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
