4702, Oil in the Exhaust after Turbo install Help!! Posted by bonecupidboze, May-06-01 12:14 PM I just got done installing my Star Stage 1 turbo kit and thought that I wasn't getting any oil to the turbo housing but it turned out that I was but then why am I getting oil in my exhaust? You can see white smoke coming out. Anybody knows that can help? I haven't taken it for a drive yet because that oil in the exhaust doesn't seem right. Please help!!! I'm waiting on an answer to solve this. | |

4703, RE: Oil in the Exhaust after Turbo install Help!! Posted by Stan2gnt, May-07-01 12:33 AM White smoke isn't oil (oil is blue/black never white. white is usually water). Since you haven't run it yet you couldn't have blown anything. I't take it for a short drive out of boost and then re-evaluate. | |

4705, RE: Oil in the Exhaust after Turbo install Help!! Posted by guest, May-08-01 02:16 PM Can you give me a explaination on how the install went. Was it hard? Any problems? And how mechanicaly inclined are you? I just want a feel for how hard it is going to be to install the stage one. I am going to install it myself with somw help from someone with a stage two. But I want to do most of it myself. | |

4707, RE: Oil in the Exhaust after Turbo install Help!! Posted by Stan2gnt, May-09-01 12:46 AM Jack the car way up on jackstands AND leave the jacks. Put something behind the wheels and leave it that way except for thre fuel pump. You'll be spending a bunch of time underneath the car and its easier to work from the top with the car jacked up too. If you can get the sh*t you have now off easily the rest is fairly easy. Mechanically inclined? Lets just say everything I've installed (nitrous, turbo) has been a new experience for me. I cant even change the crank pulley or an axle but managed to install the big two with no prior experience. I wrenched on zero cars before this one. | |
