93 smokes(what do you guys think).
Okay,
I brought my car into tri-point engineering because it was smoking heavily on startup(blue some times more white.They tested the compresson,that was okay.They then diagnosed the problem as an oil control seal.I have a hard time beleiving them since they didnt look real closely at the engine.My theory is that the turbos are shot,because there is alot of oil in intercooler pipes and there is smoke coming from the turbo area.Also,when the car smokes really heavily with smoke coming from the turbos it makes almost no power.When there is little smoke it makes petty good power.Any input would be greatly appreciated since tri-point wants 6k for a rebuild.
