Alright, my set up is a Bonestock LS B18B. Got it turbocharged (T3/T4) with 310 Injectors. Even got a S-AFC and borrowed my friends Wideband and tuned it. Thing is that when i start it in the morning it smokes for about 10 sometimes 20 minutes. I asked around and they told me thats normal, said something about "Cold-Start." Any ideas?

 

How old or how many miles does the turbo have on it?

What kind of turbo is it? Brand wise? Oil restrictor? What size feed line and what size return line?

 

atleast the smoke goes away. (310's and safc reference and ring land destruction)

is there oil in the turbo hot or cold side?
is the smoke blue or black?

 

Also, the cartridge is not obvious that its crooked. The turbo is XS power, millege is about 4-5000miles max. Oil feed is about 2mm i/d. No oil restrictor. Oil return hose is 3/4 clamped only. The Oil return location is towards the trans side. Using a Golden Eagle oil adaptor and its on the 10mm socket.

 

Color of smoke is light gray...and the smoke is thin.

 

i'd say u probably have blown turbo seals... does it do it at all when your driving ??? way to tell if its your turbo... take off your turbo manifold ... put your stock headers or exhaust manifold on start it up.... if it doesnt smoke its ur turbo seals that are leaking oil and the oil is leak in your downpipe causin the smok....
