Few problems with my car.
First off hello, ive had my car for about 2 weeks. I bought it off of ebay with 93k miles. Ive been having a few problems and i would like to know what they are. First off it smokes like crazy on start up, it wasnt that bad until a couple of days ago. There is a hesitation at 3k rpm in every gear, like it cuts out and then gets right back in it. It pings like crazy starting about 4k rpms, and every time i get on it it smells like burnt oil and a little smoke comes out the back. And first geear feels really lacking in power espically in higher rpms.
The car has:
Full turbo back exhaust, no cat
Apexi intake
Power fc with commander

the smoke i wouldnt worry about unless its lasting past warm up and its a shade of blue. My car smokes like crazy for about 5+ mins until it gets warmed up but its really cold here too...
the hesitation i would get checked out ive heard a lot people having similar problems - try a search!!

The smoke does have a hint of blue to it, and yes it pings worse than anything ive heard around 4k and up.
Im probably just gonna go have a new motor put in and single turbo swap and hope that takes care of it

Ok, It had been sitting for about 2 hours, i just tried starting it up. and it died 3 times, i tried holding the throttle down a little but it diddnt make a difference. On the 4th time i got it to idle at around 1000 rpm but it sounded very lopey, not smooth at all, the whole car was shaking. It doesnt respond very well at all when i try to rev it up, it kind of stutters and then revs a little bit. According to my guage it was also reading about a pound of boost at idle. It never got any vaccum
