Title: FD Light blue smoke.
Post by: turbomaz on May 17, 2006, 12:06:56 PM
Hiya guys this prolly been posted before but i seached to no avail.

When i put my foot down for a quick sprint and plenty of boost when i decelerate there has been an awfull lot of light blue smoke comming from the rear funny thing is it dont smell like smoke hehe.

Any of you have any ideas please ? Car runs perfect apart from the clouds of smoke.

Cheers Maz

what turbo have you got?
if its an oil cooled then it could be that
it could be that the oil that gets blown in just gettin blown out of can as u ease down.
i know most turbo\'s blow a mist out on hard boost.

Does sound like it might be as you describe, it is a single turbo set up no idea what sort though. but i can fill the road up with smoke when it happens hehe.
