smoking issues...
soooo... I changed my car's oil... I had no clue what the previous owner ran, I put in 10w30.
Took out the precat downpipe, no cat, and apexi noir exhaust.... NOW ... the car is spitting smoke like none other... no stop. what the heck, is it because of the precat?
any one have a clue?

Constant threat
So what are you running for an exhaust? Downpipe and midpipe and the Apexi?
If you had the OEM pre-cat before it would have for certain aided in vaporizing any oil smoke to significantly lessen the visible amount.
And when you say smoke, what color? Blue...white...black?

did you have any smoke issues before you did the work?.. did you spill any oil on the engine during the oil change or is all the smoke coming from the exhaust?.. do you have a boost/vac gauge if so whats are the readings?.. are you able to drive the car and is it stalling out on you. need a lot more info from you so people can help you out

Ok, Before I did all this, the car didn't have any kind of smoke.
The color is white, and bluish.
Fired it up today. The PFC said the temp was 7 degrees C.
The car idled awfully at like 500 rpm
misfiring I Think
I have a 3 inch downpipe, then a 2.5 midpipe then the Apexi Noir catback system.
a) the precat could have vaporized the oil, aka,
b) I put in too much oil...
I had issues with the turbos not spooling right, so I am thinking... could it be the first turbo seal blown?
Or I think maybe I don't have a ground tight enough.
any more ideas?

kinda odd the car is only idling ar 500rpm. i would get that figured out before worrying about the smoke. the problems are probably related. how much smoke are we talkin here?

Well yeah, the 500 rpm thing is worrying me, the boost gauge isn't fluctuating.
So I have vacuum,
The smoke billows pretty bad, So let's say... as the car is idling... it's steady flow out of the 3 inch exhaust tip.
