Low compression. Blow by (Smoke coming out from your valve cover breather, smoke coming out from the oil pan dipstick hole). Car feels weak off the line (or Stalls out when you stop).

no smokes coming out from breather , dip stick , havent check the compression yet
it still goes very hard , but i dunno if it just my imagination or something , i notice my engine sounds like a wrx ??? http://images.zeroforum.com/smile/emsad.gif
hmm its blowing grey smokes from the exhaust tho (@hi revs , @ WOT)
is grey smokes from burning oil and fuel at the same time ??

Blue smoke = oil burning

Is this from your tail pipe

also check for exhaust leaks...this could explain the WRX-like exhaust note...

yupe greyish smokes coming out from the tailpipe

leak in the exhaust system makes sense , cuz the pipe always got new scratches everytime i went thru a bump http://images.zeroforum.com/smile/emsmilep.gif

If its out of your tail pipe then you may have bad rings or valve stem seals. But since you mentioned scaping on bumps...you may want to check for oil leaks as well....things to check for (in order of severity)

1. Check for a clogged or damage PCV valve...replace it if needed
2. Oil too thin...use thicker oil.
3. Oil leak somewhere (close to exhaust or under valve cover)
4. bad seals in turbo on the exhaust side...
5. bad valve stem/ seals
6. bad oil rings
7. pistons damaged, warped, or cracked
8. sleeves cracked

Maybe you just backfired from running rich? I don't know.

nope pretty sure wasnt a backfire
it sounds more like *boom, clank, clank*

but it still drives fine , even tho well not sure it sounds like a wrx http://images.zeroforum.com/smile/emsad.gif
