blue smoke

[bluntedelvis]

Sound's like boost creep and oil blow-by. What kind of turbo you spooling, and other upgrades to whip? And why in gods green earth havent you upgraded your fuel system yet if your running a bigger turbo than stock. Turn you boost controller as low as it will go, does it still smoke perfussley? Is this really hindering your performance, or does the car go like a great ape but blowing smoke? Could be your valves and internals need some attention. Id do a compression test, boost-leak test, if useing unknown brand or dont know how old boost controller I'd replace along with all lines. Hope this help's, I hate it when my whip runs like shit.

From my experience, smoking at idle and initial start suspects bad or worn out valve seals or guides. Bad rings or turbo will smoke more when open throttle. check pcv valve and you can also take oil cap off and see how much blow by you feel.

here is the the thing sometimes it smokes at initial start up and sometimes it doesn't. and sometimes when it doesn't smoke at initial start up I will drive somewhere and then when i stop it will be smoking a little bit. I don't really know if it smokes under wot it is kinda hard to sit and watch my mirrors for smoke when I am driving at wot. the pcv valve is still basically brand new maybe 1000 miles on it but I will check it. I am still learning about cars what exactly is blow by? I am assuming you would take the oil cap off while the car is running? thanks

it is still the stock turbo. 14b. upgrades are obviously a mbc, intake, hacked maf, k&n filter, ported o2sensor housing, 2.5in downpipe, 2.5in testpipe and 2.5in cat-back. stage2 clutch and a lightweight flywheel. after I got everything put on the boost wouldn't go past about 13-14psi where it was set. it didn't start spiking until after I tried puting it up to 15psi and then put it back down. right now I have the boost as low as it will go. and as for the smoke sometimes it will smoke a lot and sometimes pretty much not at all. when I am actually driving I have never seen it smoke it most likely still is but I cant see it. as far as I can tell it has not effected the performance. replacing the boost controller is something that is going to be done soon.
