Re: just went turbo...smoking need help (tuner_3)
If you're having grey smoke at start up and backfires a lot, it means you're idling too rich. What kind of engine management are you currently running?

Re: just went turbo...smoking need help (green_GSR)
i just put it in tuesday...the setup im running is an vortech 12:1 fmu, stock injectors, aem fuel rail, vortech fpr, stock ignition, magnacore wires, missing link, delta wastegate, t3/t4 turbo walbro 255 fuel pump. I figured it would be that problem but how? It feels fine when gunned half throttle but at a idle it feels as if its going to die...flooding of some sort...i want to get it tuned but i want to know whats going on before i go...could it be a vacuum problem...please help...thanks...oh yeah...check light comes on when gunned full throttle at 5k or so...

check to see what that CEL is for..
how much boost are you running ? see if that missing link still works.
btw i dunno what you mean by tuned. not much to tune there to be honest with ya.
