I suffer from boost paranoia pretty bad , This damn guy in my apartment complex tells me I'm puffing smoke between shifts, ONLY on hard boost pulls (he says its blue, Ive never seen it).
I can't figure it out, I'm running out of ideas.

1.compression and leakdown are perfect
2.no overheating, coolant is clean and the level is normal
3.no oil smell and level never moves
4.turbo and piping are clean
5.plugs are perfect, tuned with hondata around 14:1 and 11:1 in boost
6.venting block with endyn setup (no blowby)
7.cars runs great, exhaust smells rich
8.running w/o cat

I'm thinking it may be unburnt fuel from my reserved tune.
Can unburnt fuel appear grey in color???
Am I overlooking something?????

Or is this dumb bastard out of his mind from too much cheap liquor and breathing fumes from his shitty bronco, because he's pissing me off!!

morethan likely its fuel, but you never know, check your DP for oil.

I did check it, it was clean along with all the other piping. I'm still clueless??

valve seals are tired or valve guides are loose....won't show up in any tests

It could also be coolant smoke and your hick is color-blind Also, 11:1 is pretty rich and would almost certainly blow some smoke when you let off.

Thanks Earl, never thought about the top end. I did have a vale adjstment done by honda about 1000 miles ago. But you are right, this motor does pull a hell of alot of vaccum when I let off. I always thought really good vaccum was a good thing. But if it's gonna suck oil into the combustion chamber, it would make sense.

Any more takers out there??

Also is it Ok to run like this for awhile, I'm looking to send you a block sometime around january and do another build. Guess I'll just add valve train to the list and rev alittle higher
