Blue smoke under pressure
Well i've been driving under low boost for about 1500 miles(10psi) on a built block but i went tuning the car last saterday and really opening her up. We went to about 16 psi on pump gas and the car was flying i was loving it off course, but in the mirror in boost condition i see clouds of blue smoke in the distance.

I'm running -4an line to an oil cooler and from the oil cooler a 6inch -3an line to the turbo. Is this the reason why it's smoking??
No smoke while idle
No smoke while cruising
No smoke when accerating normally
Smoke went flooring it, and stops when letting off.
Any ideas are welcome

Re: Blue smoke under pressure (musclefella)
well...blue smoke means ur burning oil ya no....so ur burnin oil. usually means your rings are bad. iether that or your valve seals. maybe your turbo system isnt set up correctly and your pressurizing the crank case forcing oil through the valve seals or rings. just a guess.

No the car has perfect compression and there is NO oil coming from the valve cover outlet. No oil on the PVC side and NO oil on the valve nipple side. The car isn't smoking when idling and not smoking when revving up.
I'll do another compression test soon, but i know for sure it's not the rings. Here is a vid of my car at Low quality, the video image is a bit laggy so your not really experiencing how fast the car is, i'll shoot another movie soon. In this vid at the end you see me make a run and you see the bleu smoke. There is some other oil lekkage cause not all the blue smoke is coming from exhaust, but from the center of the car. Just check the vid.
