She's a smoking

[chris aka fonz]

my sup is starting to smoke quite often , its been running at 1.2 bar on stock tubbies so possibly the turbo seals , im gonna put my cat back in and see if it makes a difference , what sort of price we looking at as i have no clue for turbo seals or maybe the valve stem seals ? turbo's themselves seem good they still pull really well , theyve covered around 60,000 but not sure how long theyve been running at 1.2 bar .

When does it smoke?

Have you checked the pipes going from the IC into the intake ? If the inside of the pipe is coated with quite abit of oil ... then I'd say it's your turbo-seals.

My stockers had the same problem.

I may get jumped on by the techies for this but I say just leave it smoking. So long as its not excessive and its not chewing through oil then its not really a problem is it? Mines had smoking issues for about 10,000 miles now, half of it was the turbos (which have been replaced) and the other half is the valve stem seals.
