I need confirmation on this before I end up pulling the turbos again. Im getting random smoking, . It looks to be a dark white / grey. the wierd thing is it doesn't smoke right at start up but maybe a a minute or 2 after. Then the smoke goes away after a minute or with a little driving. The smoke also reoccurs at idle sometimes. no smoke can be seen while boost or when letting off the throttle from a high rpm.. Can it be too much premix, I've used the redline 2 stroke recently. Or bad oil injectors? or do i have to pull the dam turbos again... (no matter how many times i've pulled them they are still a bitch to remove)
I have a reman with less than 5k on it, my previous engine went because of a bad oil seal so the reoccurance of smoke is kinda pissing me off.. I;m pretty sure its oil smoke because the smell isn't sweet, smells like burning oil. the pipes going to the engine look pretty clean, no oil build up, and the exhaust side seemed pretty clean too. The compression on the engine seems alright with a constant 110 psi on both front and rear housings. I also have a pfc with the base map... trying to fix everything before getting the thing tuned.

 

Pull the lower hose to the intercooler first. If you've got oil collected in there, then maybe it's the turbos.

How much smoke are you talking about? Do you get it when you're hard on the throttle?

no smoke when im hard on the car. hmm a pretty good amount, hard to describe i guess medium amount. i'll try catch a vid of the smoke when it happens

 

are there any tests to see if I have a bad oil seal in the motor? vs the turbos? thank you
