Smoke on idle when warm(stage 2+) 70k
« on: June 01, 2021, 12:26:38 pm »
Car is on 70k, stage 2+ on ko3. Ive been getting oily smoke after sitting at idle for about a minute, and a cloud of smoke when starting when warm, smoke goes away as soon as I get into first gear. Going through a lot of oil and cyl 3 plug looks a bit oily(will attach picture of plugs)
Compression test-
Cyl 1-225psi
Cyl 2-227psi
Cyl 3-240psi
Cyl 4-220psi

Any ideas? Cheers.

I would get a leak down test done, and drop the downpipe to check the turbo shaft play.
