OK OK OK... I might be overreacting but still I'm mad. Driving home from work just now and for some reason the car feels laggy (stock) and heavy as hell. I stop at the gate to my neighborhood, and i see smoke coming from my hood. I'm like WTF!!!!!!! it was faint so i never crapped my pants just yet. Anyway, I get home, pop the hood. There's smoke (faint smoke) coming from my turbo. I'm like WTF? It doesn't smell like burning oil though, it's more like exhaust gas... but seems to be coming from the center of the turbo. I'm eating now then i might start up the car and see if it smokes at idle (it only smoked when coming in from boosting... i did a test run to make sure of that). I'm pretty sure it's an exhaust leak, possibly from the turbine side (duh) because it doesn't smoke all the time, and it's not the return line, and it sure doesn't smell like burning oil. It reminds me almost of when i first put it on, and the downpipe wasn't on correctly and it smoked a lil after every lil spurt of driving.

 

sorry had to rant... bad day at work...

 

Glad to see you got it worked out..

 

check to see if the turbo is loose...I've had that happen to me several times
