1. Bluish white smoke out the exhaust at idle... that's pretty much it. 98% sure turbo seals are done.
2. Oil light on (flickers, goes off while driving but sometimes flickers on... constant on/flickering off at idle). Oil pressure gauge works and indicates normal, plenty of oil in the engine. Checked inside the valve cover, everything is well lubricated. Sending unit fubar'd? Perhaps the harness?
3. Running pig rich. Car has 450s, 255LPH fuel pump (AFPR is in the mail, can't believe this guy didn't put one on it), big 16G currently running about 13psi, 3" turbo-back exhaust (downpipe+Thermal R&D catback), K&N filter setup (no intake), hard upper intercooler pipe w/GReddy Type S BOV... Apex'i SAFC controlling everything. Right now the car is DRINKING gas (at one point I barely got 30 miles on 1/4 tank barely boosting at all). Anyone got a good basic map for this setup? MAF is not hacked AFAIK, I will get in there tomorrow and look at it.
4. Coolant level light came on, checked it, overflow reservoir was WAY low, added about 80/20 antifreeze/water to the system since it's getting COLD here at night, cranked it up, light switched off. There's no white smoke while driving, no overheating, I'm thinking maybe a small leak somewhere. Will check tomorrow.
