Bug679 Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 hello again folks So i fitted a decat about a month ago now , ever since it has smoked a bit , but it has gradually got worse.It smokes when am slowing down and stopping at lights is worse, am sitting in a cloud of smoke lol and there's a smell of oil that's cruel and using a good bit as well. I've got a 4 branch mild steel,stainless decat fuel turned to 2.5 bar (with vac pipe off) running .8 bar boost , didn't have the fueling checked yet, done a compression test last week and got 172 175 176 179.There's no oil in the intercooler piping there's a very small leak in the return pipe for turbo up at the gasket but it doesn't leave a pool of oil under the car.Could it be the valve stem seals ? or the turbo seals going ? It's really getting annoying now lol. it's white smoke forgot to mention. It can shoot out black sooty stuff on the ground on start up but i was thinking that was just condensation as there's no real smell to it . Any help much appreciated Quote
Bug679 Posted July 30, 2015 Author Posted July 30, 2015 I also have a catch can fitted with the pcv gutted and vented catch can could this be causing it ? Quote
patman Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 fuel turned to 2.5 bar (with vac pipe off) running .8 bar boost , didn't have the fueling checked yet,Can I ask what bar your running when car warm on idle with vac pipe on and I take it standard ecu yeah? Quote
patman Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 When my turbo seals went Sefton mate I took the two intercooler pipes off at the bottom which connect to the intercooler and found a small puddle of oil in there, Quote
Bug679 Posted July 31, 2015 Author Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) Ok so checked the fpr and its at 2.5 idling with pipe on. Must of set it with it on sorry about that. Any other ideas.

patman Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 Yeah mine was doing that too when turbo seals had gone mate, was only asking about your fpr due to don't want you running to lean Quote
