Check your fuel injector seals. I had a similar situation with my car. Lower injector seal was cracked so it was constantly pissing fuel into the cylinder producing a shit load of smoke. Also check your compression to rule out head gasket.

Also might want to check the o2 sensor, mine smoked like that before i bought it, and it was the o2 wiring melted to the header , but it def sounds like you are running very rich

I did a compression test it was good. 150 across the board. It's not the head gasket because I did radiator test. The weird thing is that It boost fine and pulls hard it idle fine expect all the smoke. I pulled the turbo off and their was no shaft play. It spins freely! Wtf!!!

i went and checked the injectors and the fine their is nothing wrong with o-rings they were new anyways. also i found a shit ton of oil in the intercooler piping. and in the actualy turbo itself. i guess its the turbo. FML!!!

.....Does not compute. How did you not notice that at first?

Isn't there supposed to be oil in the turbo...?

[bvr463]

if you found oil in your intercooler piping, then your seals are gone in your turbo

[Yousefelk]
