Question Fd Smoke Problem

Help

The car smokes for about 5 secs on start up only when cold!
The engine has only 5 k on it and have been told by the engine builder that this fault is down to the stock twins.

The car drives perfectly without any smoke w.o.t other than the start up smoke.

I would like your opinions pls.

Regards...

Blue smoke!

The question I'm asking, Could this be the turbo seals? If so why not W.O.T?

Blue smoke at start up is pretty common for most rotaries...Not just FD's


If your boost pattern is normal and there is no smoke under boost/ or WOT then I would say chances are your Turbo's are in decent health.
