Thick smokeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
My car started to have excessive dark grayish white smoke out the exhaust at cruising speed while being in gear and in neutral at a stop. I have a greddy turbo running 6psi. I no it sounds like the head gasket but i only have 70k. I did a compression test and all of my cyclinders are within 10psi. of eachother and my spark plugs looked good, so I think the problem is with my turbo. I got a tip that my turbo could have shaft play. Should thier be zero play or is minor play acceptable, because i took my filter off to see if thier was any play and if i nudge the shaft back and forth a few times with light force it slightly moves. Is that normal?????<U></U>I heard it might be a turbo seal or somthing related.
Can anyone help?

my friend is running a t25 d15 turbo and his turbo has a bit of shaft play, oil seals blown and oil in his charge pipe, everytime he shifts or let go of the gas, black/gray smoke comes out exhaust. shaft slightly moves is okay, just as long as it doesn't scrape the housing and check your charge pipe for oil, if yes, replace or repair the turbo seals.

Re: (teddy_dc2)
Compression test is good(200psi in each cylinder) And i did a leakdown test and at first i got a decent reading in all my cylinders except my 3rd and i got all worried then i thought about it and realized that the pressure of the air was actually spining my crank, thierfore cylinder#1 wasn't staying at TDC while the compressed air was in place. So [B]I readjusted the crank so cylinder #1 was at TDC and re-did the whole test and all my cylinders were fine except now the gauge was saying my forth cylinder was way out of spec, but i got a slight reading the first time. I tried like 3 more times, adjusting and readjusting the crank but i just couldnt get it. I figured that my crank was all lubed up and moving very freely, from previous testing and that the air pressure(100psi) was just moving it.[/B<U>]Does this sound right???? Do i just need a new turbo????</U>
