- if i am running hard(ex. over 4k shifts and hard on the gas) when i stop theres nothing strange, but if i wait about a min or two i start smoking. I popped the hood and it looks like its coming from the MANIFOLD(exhaust), i looked closer and there is burnt oil residue by the o2 sensor hole and a little on the manifold cover. ALSO, along with this my 14b seems as tho its not boosting as hard as it was, it the engine is cold it boosts great but once everything is warmed up it seems as though the turbo is losing its pressure. Now im assuming that i may have blown a gasket IN the turbo, and maybe the oil by the o2 sensor and coming off the manifold is from that, but i dont find any oil residue in the pipe going to the IC. IM a little stumped on where it could be burning off from. If it DOES sound like the turbo let me know. Untill then ill be grannying along.
