Black smoke............turbo help
« on: May 27, 2015, 10:14:52 pm »
Unfortunately I have a 'psssssst' noise coming from the car. Its not a woooosh, its as if there is a pipe leak, I have however checked the pipes and they all seem OK.

However, I hit 2ng gear and the car is dumping black smoke now.....a LOT!

Does this sound like the turbo has gone? seals in the turbo?

Black smoke is overfuelling. Likely a boost leak meaning too much fuel for the amount of air getting into the cylinders  :sad1:

Tuned k04 turbo'd engines seem to chuck out a bit of smoke when under WOT anyway. Pretty obvious at Dyno days  :grin:

Thank you, the car is definitely drinking the fuel, imperiously drinking it  :scared:

Boost leak - turbo/pipes yea?

Is the turbo easy to pop off from under the car?
