d16 y8 greedy turbo kit blowing smoke at stoplights
ok well im figuring that the turbo seals are going out just want a second opinon befor i tear her apart. runs amazing after i spool her up then come to a stop she dumps smoke but after a few minutes of easy driving she stops guessing only when turbo heats up?? i comute in the car an hour each way and she went like a champ today...

I have the same problem and exact same situation, only smokes in between shifts or coming to a stop. I know my turbo seals are blown as well. lol

Re: d16 y8 greedy turbo kit blowing smoke at stoplights
Its the seals on the turbo. I have the same issue on mine but it only happens when i step on it usually. All the oil gets blown out since im on 22PSI. But the seals are leaking, when you step on it the oil pressure goes up which forces more oil into the housings which is how it burns. It could be leaking on either side or both (like my old turbo).
