Ive just installed a (used) greddy turbo onto my d15b maybe thre weeks ago. The car seems to smoke a bit when in boost. During idle or no boost, it does just fine. Only when im in boost does it give me this problem. Im not sure what it could be. The smoke is greyish white in color, im thinking it must be the seals on the turbo, but im not an expert. Any help offered is appreciated.

perhaps you need some sort of a restrictor to limit pressure to the turbo...

 

Sound like seal in a turbo. I might be wrong but i seen that type of smoke with blown turbos.

So a possibly blown turbo could still produce some boost? Its weird because my never smokes unless im pushing it into boost, and it feels laggy when in boost. I have freinds with the same setup, but their turbos seem to spool a lot sooner than mines.

 

I have a similar problem, but smoke blows out when I drive locally ... if I boost a lot, it does fine ... maybe too much oil?

 

did you do a compression test? maybe its not what you think it is, i had the same problem so i did a clt on my engine- blown rings

 

im with HXMan, try a restrictor first.
