Hi guys! All started last saturday when i went for a ride and after i took some fuel, i noticed that at high revs (with the car on standstill), above 6000, the car began to smoke(white smoke).

At idle the car works perfectly but if i rev it above 5500 or 6000 it start to smoke. Could this be a problem related to bad fuel? Or a bad turbo seal? Or something worse?

I would greatly appreciate any help! Thanks in advance!

From that short description, I would suggest its oil & turbo related. If it was fuel, I would imagine the problem would exist no matter what rpm the car is at.

Sounds like your 2ndary turbo is leaking oil

Hi guys! Thanks for your response! If its a turbo oil leak, would this be possible to fix?

P.s The turbos are both spooling normally. Does this make sense?

If i hold on 6000revs - no smoke but if i press and release again the gas paddle (between 5000 to 6500) it starts to puff white smoke

Does the turbo spool when the car is on stationary postion?

You can build about 3-4 PSI with the car not moving (i.e. just revving it in neutral).

So is it smoking when you drive the car?

Hi guys! First of all thanks for your response. Yesterday, I went for a gas refill...guess what......no smoke at all at no point!! I am still wondering what it was. I'm guessing it was bad fuel. I never took fuel from that station before and i would never again. Should i replace anything to put my mind at rest? The fuel filter maybe? Spark plugs? i don't know.

If everything is running fine now, why would you replace or change anything? Just drive the car.

THanks Mahjik! That's what i'm gonna do.

when was the last time the fuel filter was changed? just a good thing imo to change if it has been a really long time and driven everyday

a little white smoke at high RPMs shouldn't concern you anyway.. FD's, FC's, and RX-8's all seem to burn a little oil at high revs.
