Before i swapped the redtop the compression was 160 straight across the board.

Car did not smoke AT ALL, until this week.


Car has greyish smoke under boost, only when i get on it.

Car was running super rich, 60psi fuel pressure by accident, i lowered it to 46psi (stock), but dont ahve anyone to drive behind me to check for smoke again.

Turbo is pretty new, although has a little residue of oil probably from the catch can going to the intake.

Coolant level is fine.

Oil level is fine.

I dont see ANY smoke at all when im driving, only ppl behind me

Get some ideas and start narrowing shit down...
Smoking could be burning coolant or oil, blown turbo, rings, or even valve seals

and i see ure in midlothian, i live in midlo also off lucks? DO you have a red hatch?

Ok, how long was your car running rich? Running that rich WILL wash your Piston Rings causing blow by or smoke... Either way - no good... Compresion test the car. Also check if you have a blown head gasket...
