New Smoke pics...

If you didn't see the last post, i posted some pics of my car and the smoke it pours out the back. The pics were at night so it was hard to make out anything. I took some today at work when i got there, and these are more representable i think.

first one...

You need to take one from farther back of all the billowing smoke so they can see the whole picture.

There is no question about it anymore guys, it WAS oil burning in the turbo. The intake and exhaust seal were bad. I had it checked out from www.marvelspeed.com and they fixed it up for me, they do great work.
