Title: still smoking
Post by: mikeyh on June 09, 2008, 04:09:22 PM
ok managed to get turbo`s back on but seems its still smoky on idle but once u rev it abit smoke goes away.

its not water so guessing oils getting in still.

so what u think turbo`s still knackered or engine gone??
what oil seals are in the engine??

Nothing wrong with a bit of smoke by all accounts... especially if it goes away after a bit.
(never experienced it myself, and I guess it depends how much smoke we\'re talking about)

Could it be oil residue left in the pipes, before you took the turbos off?

Did you run it long? might need a good blast to clear it out!
