Plume of smoke after lift off at high rpms
Its very strange .
if I'm at 8k-6k rpm's and I lift off rather then shift I get this plume of smoke behind me .
Now .. it smells like gasoline .
I have no coolant leaks at all .
and I have very little oil consumption besides its not dark smoke it smells strongly of gasoline .
If I shift instead of lift it doesn't happen . I'm curious if maybe this is the symptom of a leaky injector on liftoff
it would prob be the primaries , as the secondaries have been replaced and it did it before / after .
Or maybe this is a setting on the Power FC ?

Honestly, it's probably been doing it for a while and you're just now noticing. Keep running them until they are like the Mosquito Control truck (us Floridians know these well).

doubling the PSI didnt fix the issue but it didnt make it worse . since it only happens when you lift at such high rpms its not something you commonly do so I didnt pay attention since I was going to get BNR's from a friend .
but it doesn't hurt to see if there could be any other causes for it apart from the turbos .
Also I was curious why it only happens on deceleration .
