I put my 3in cat-elim turbo-back yesterday. I had been noticing my car has been smoking after boost for about 2 months, but never realised how bad untell I took it for a spin after this install!!
WOW! It's alot of smoke. I have been keeping an eye on my coolant and oil. I've actually drained my coolant twice in the last 4 months working on my car. Its always perfectly green, and full. I've been burning 2 quarts of oil in a 3000 mile span sense i noticed it. That was an increase from the half to full quart it had been doing before I started moding the my 96 gsx.
I ran a compresson check and tested the shaft play on the compressor wheel. my stock 7bolt has 150psi on all 4 cylinders, and their is a very small amount of shaft play. Their is also a small wistle coming from my turbo while under boost. I have a feeling Its about time for a turbo I really can't afford at the moment. But wanted to know where this smoke could be coming from.
