    Turbo

    Trying to tell if my turbo is causing the engine to smoke under boost or is the oil rings not bedded in.
    when the engine is cold the engine doesn't smoke but i know the turbo has a lot of side to side play any help with this will be appreciated
    thanks

    Search 1 way valve and give that a try! Will tell you if its oil seals!

    Rings tend to cause smoke on lift off afaik.

    Does it smoke on idle when warm?

    Yea possibly but wouldnt rule it them out just yet!

    It wouldn't necessarily smoke just by revving and lifting off if rings, you actually need to put load on it ie driving.

    Quick test kink the breather that goes to intake pipe (elephants trunk) and see if it stops the smoke!
    Only do this on idle though and if running oem breather setup
