Get this thing on the road and turn it up.

Well my car hates life. Started the car today just to get disappointed again.

Car started after a couple cranks but seemed like it wasn't running right and was missing a little. I haven't touched anything in the motor since my trans let go so I figured maybe the plugs were old and needed changing, that didn't change a thing.

Once the new plugs were in the car I started it again but it still seemed like it wasn't running right. While just letting it idle for maybe 45 seconds to a minute I saw a little smoke coming from the engine bay and from the back of the car so shut the car off quickly. Then went inside to take a break and scratch my head for a little bit.

When I came back to the car maybe 30 minutes later there was a small puddle of oil under the car. The only place I saw oil was from where the down pipe connects to the 02 housing.

My dad wanted the garage back so he made me pull it out of the garage and I've never seen a car smoke so bad as backing it out of the garage and pulling it over into the third stall.


So my question is what could cause the car to smoke so damn bad?

My guess was:
1. The turbo blew, but it still spun after I shut the car off like normal so I don't really know about that

2. I bent some valves on my stock head when it went from 5500 to 8500 in .12 seconds when 3rd gear let go. The only thing with this one is the car seemed to drive fine when I drove it home without 3rd/4th after the trans let go. I also didn't remember it smoking but I did drive it home at night and pulled it straight into the garage.

I'll try and do a compression test on it tomorrow but after that I'm kinda lost on what else it could be.

Also sucks because between working 35hrs a week, going to school full time, and having to get 40hrs of community service in before I graduate in may wont leave me much time to mess with the car.

I'd love to hear what people think could be wrong with it though and some other test I could do to narrow down exactly whats wrong with it.

Thanks in advance and sorry for the novel!

Any news yet?

No good updates. Tried to do a compression test with a neighbors compression tester last week but the battery ran out of juice but the first 2 cylinders looked. I just went out and bought my own tester tho along with a leak down tester so hopefully I can find the time to test it again soon.

Put the turbo back on tonight with the catch can setup and it still smoked a little bit but not anything crazy like it did. I half think it was still burning off whatever oil was left in the down pipe/turbo.

It seems like it idles decent (then again I'm used to an idle of a bone stock audi now so I forgot what a cammed car idles like) but it misses if you try and rev it at all. From Link it says the afr is pegged rich from the stock 02 sensor but I don't know if oil getting all over the stock sensor messed it up. I was thinking of getting a replacement aem sensor sometime this week and see whats really going on with with the afr. If afr, compression test, and leak down test looks decent I'll be at a complete loss at whats wrong with it.

Next is to figure out why the solenoids weren't working properly, and to figure out what I want to do with my motor so I can keep having some more fun with it.

I also want some slicks now. Shanes new slick setup is amazingly light and they just look bad ass.
