Smoking turbos?
 
My car is smoking alot at idle. When under boost they smoke a lot too. Check spark plugs are clean. Had to add about a quart of oil if oly 1000miles since last oil change.


i feel engine strong. Just recenlty rebuilt, only about 2000 miles. Turbos are non seq, i think they are at their death bed. Already have new t04r turbo and wastegate, coverting to single very soon. What can happen if i continue to run the turbos in this shape? can engine suffer?

Those are signs of turbo oil seal failure however, does the car smoke while boosting or on decel?

Hopefully just turbo blow-by (need new turbos). Switch out the turbos and if the problem persists it sounds like oil control rings in the block.

smokes under acceleration not del. What harm can my engine sufferif i continue using my car with these smoking turbos?

smokes at idle and under boost. not on del. turbos are about 70k miles, and i guess they are gone. my concern is, could i harm my engine by using my car with turbos in this condition?

1.cause you engine carbonize twice as fast.
2.Your spark plugs will keep getting dirty therefore the car will not start.
3.you will clog up your cat
4.The cops will have a field day with you.
5.you will look like a retarded "platano". lol
