Its supposed to steam/cook for awhile. Check your oil level and for leaks.

The worst steam I had was in cabin, after welding the mid pipe resonator in and droved with the new Thermal 3" on it. Damn from the shifter-leather there was so much smoke coming in, we thought the car burns. We was affraid, cause we were at a gas station too. But luxkily it was only the ****** paint of the resonator.

it seems to me that the steam is coming from around the intake mani/fuel rail area

this is whats happening so far: adjusted fuel pressure, and idling is OK....for about 2 mins...til it dies out


and oil pressure at idle is still ~35psi
