smoke, plugs and dp
 
could really old plugs (say 33k miles... not my fault) cause my car to smoke a little heavier than normal till the engine warms up?

also, has anyone ever heard of this dp? i found it on ebay...

I've heard of deposits causing plugs to foul and be covered in oil thereby preventing them from firing completely ,but not actually causing the smoke to begin with.

Sounds more like the turbos burning off excess oil than bad plugs.

Never heard of that dp

what color of smoke blue, black or white. if black it could be from the plugs by not lighting the fuel proprly resulting in a rich af ratio

I have that same smoking problem, I know its coming from the lower area of the turbos. When I stop after boosting I see light smoke coming out between my headlight covers and where the hood meets the fenders.
