The problem happened after I bounced off the rev limiter in first gear at 7500rpms for few seconds. Smoke is now pouring out of my exhaust like it just got seafoamed. Idle, cruise accelerating, deaccelerating, boosting, not boosting always smoke. Before this it never smoked one bit. Boost lag, and slower performance. Engine and turbo have about 2000 miles. Things I checked:
Boost leaks (none)
Oil in licp (none)
Compression 165-175
Cam timing (perfect)
Vacume (-20)
No oil in coolant
Idle ( had bad idle since I started the engine for 1st time but still idles between 1000-2000 as prior)
Looking down at my cylinders 2 and 3 are black and wet as 1 and 4 are just black
When cylinders 2 and 3 are at the bottom of the stroke looking in the spark plug hole there is a circle where it is not black about the size of a valve and about where it would hit if it did, but cylinders 1 and 4 (the dry ones) dont have that
Im stumped on this one, help is appreciated
