My exhaust is smoking heavily. i think that there is a small oil leak off the turbo into the exhaust manifold

what can i do, i was thinking of changing the turbo but i dont have all the money for the upgraded computer yet.

any tips would be much appreciated. tHx.

 

how much smoke? Is it white, black, or blue tinted.

And what do you mean Brand New?

Whats new... you to the forum or the exhaust or what?

 

Lol i said brandnew because i wanted people to look and its a new topic
ijust needed some help

 

well.......its really not a brand new topic at all.

As was asked before..........What colour is the smoke?

 

lol its white

 

have you over heated it lately.... because usally white smoke indicates a blown coolant seal. doens the smoke smell sweet? if so you had better plan on a rebuild.

 

no its from the turbo the turbo wAS taken off and therre wAS ONLy oil on the side that goes to the exhaust not to the other sides
but i have 2 extra turbos i just need a computer to properly run and tune the whole car

 

how much smoke?

are you losing a notable amount of oil?

 

not a whole lot but im losing enough its not really lacking in power though

 

well you're giong to need to rebuild the turbo or replace it in the near future. If its leaking oil on the exhaust side, chances are its not long (if it hasn't happened already) before its blowing oil out the compressor.

Pull off the first I/C coupler on the turbo and see if shes wet with oil inside. Also check the shaft play on the turbo and make sure the thing isn't ready to blow apart on ya.

Really though there's no way to stop the smoking until you rebuild or replace your turbo. (presuming its not a toasted oil control ring, athough you'd be losing TONNES of oil and leaving a batman style smoke screen if that was the case)

 

i thought so
well i have 2 extra turbos i have a garret turbo and an xs engineering
i was thinking of going with the xs im changing the full exhaust out and saving up for a new ems i have a fuel management cpu for air and fuel ratio
but i think i need something else i forget tho

any suggestions???

 

hey, I got smoke coming out the exhaust aswell. I got an oil leak on the turbine side.

 

ohh

 

Anybody have a recommendation for a turbo rebuilder?
