PLEASE HELP TURBO PROBLEM b16
Hey people, i'm in a bind here. I just had a turbo system installed by Total Performance Racing in Fairfield, OH. Shortly after the turbo was installed and used for 2 days I noticed that there was oil spitting out of the head through the bypass hose "which tpr didn't hook up to a catch can". Now it's just blowing white grey blue smoke out. And when i shift gears TREMENDOUS amounts of smoke is pouring out of my exhaust and it smells bad not like gas. I would really like an idea of what i'm dealing with here. BTW TPR has horrible customer service I hate to say that but they are starting to get on my nevrves. They never offered me a missing link option "which I was not aware of", they never offered a boost gauge option, they never offered me a fuel pump which I had to complain about to get. I paid them for everything up front with install 4100 and now my car is pouring smoke out. NOT TO MENTION the blow off valve popped out and I had to put the wrist pin back in. They used crappy hose clamps which came off and I had to buy good ones because they broke. I just need help from a reputable turbo shop in Ohio or I need to find out what I need to fix my ride. Any ideas on what the smoke could possibly be .. Please help.

moral of the story - dont trust shops. do your own work.
if you really hate working on cars then just make friends w/ some pimps who can help you out or will do work for a box of pizza.

Re: (village_idiot)
lol thanks? haha I don't have a garage or I would do all of the work for myself. Good idea though i think I might actually just buy a small truck and work on this car myself it really pisses me off ya know that sucks. Does anyone have any other theories?
