no st paul,
Minnesota
Here is the set up.
1998 Mitsu Eclipse Gs-t
Mods:
UICP 1gbov
Mbc @14 psi
2.5 to 3 in downpipe (no Cat)
Apexi N1 cat back.
Here is the probelm.
The last couple of day my car has been shooting some grayish blueish smoke.
Talk to a good friend of mine and figure it is oil. Also I smelt gas in the smoke figureing it was running a little bit richer then it was before. Now I was trying to figure out where it might be burning oil? I got home today and smoke was pouring out form under the hood. Look under the hood and a lot of smoke was coming from under the heat sheild.
Called up a buddy to ask him what he thinks. Said it may be a oil line gasket that went and is leaking oil. But also when i put in my UICP with the 1G bov it started to make the fulltering noise when i let off the gas.
Now if i remember reading right thats means that the bov may not be opening at all of all the way and the air is running back into the turbo and making it stop all of a sudden. I'm Starting to wondering if my turbo has just had enough and gave up on me or what. I'm going to pull the sheild off tomorrow and see if i can see oil leaking or somthing. But in my garage there are no oil spots on the ground so I dunno. So if anyone is in the No st paul area and wants to help figure this out that would be great! Or if anyone has a 1G BOV thats i can buy or borrow to see if mine is bad.
Thanks
