My car smokes after boosting to about 15 psi but only for a couple seconds. Those couple seconds afterwards though will create enough smoke I cant see the car behind me. If I drive it normal and dont boost above 10 psi it runs fine and doesnt smoke. Any ideas? thanks

I have the stock twins and the smoke is definately from oil. My question is do you think its the oil seals in the motor or turbo's need rebuilding? As far as mods go non-sequential,all emmissions removed,pettit unlimited ecu,greddy catback,dp,mp,intake,and Fmic.

are you saying it is during boost at 15psi? or after the throttle is closed? how many miles on the turbos/motor?

Yeh at 15 psi its fine until I let off the throttle. When I start slowing down it smokes for about 5 seconds. Never smokes on boost and does not smoke if I only run it up to about 10psi. Motor was already replaced before i got the car. As of right now mileage is at about 65k.

oil seals might be leaking a little.

what do you mean by smokes after?



You mean after you stop its smoking? Or while your on boost?



If your on boost, turbos are getting old.



If its after im lost, if its coming from the muffler.
