Help With Smoke
Here is my problem. Recently I have been starting up my FD and lots of blue smoke has been coming out of the exhast? This is not the first time this has happened, it happens when the car has not been ran for a long time also. But now the amount of smoke is increasing and it is happing every time I start the car. My suspision is that oil is leaking into the seals in the turbos and the turbos are on the way out. Just wondering if you guys know what the problem is. My engine has 87,500 miles on it, as do the turbos. I have minor mods like down pipe mid and cat back, new vacum lines, intercooler piping, and intake.

Ive just started to have the same problem.It does it to me for only a couple of minutes when i start my car.I noticed that a liquid that looks like water is coming out from my exhaust and that when the liquid goes away so does the smoke.

First off a downpipe, mid and cat back + intake is not considered minor mods... many people have blown engines on this setup without proper engine management.
A little smoke at startup is to be expected, more so when you let the car sit for a while.
how much vaccum are you pulling at idle?
(for the other guy, a little water out of your tailpipe is fine, thats just condensation)
