Basically ive got a LC180 which was mapped to 210 when i got it, but it had a standard system on it, which was rotten and blowing in about 6 places, so i replaced the whole thing from turbo back with a toyosports 3" inch downpipe/decat, and cobra decat back resonated system with 6x4 rear non baffle box.
Then the car began to smoke, blue smoke that stunk of oil, but it would only do it if the car had been sat ticking over for a few minutes, if you just tapped the accelerator it would throw out a cloud of thick blue smoke and then clear, would also do this if sat in traffic then pulled away, and when i took it in for diagnostics and to alter the map to suit the decat it was smoking a little as it came down the revs on the dyno, and for this reason i couldnt get the map adjusted.
So my car is almost on 122k on the original turbo, i sourced a second hand k03s off an accident damaged leon, with around 79k on the clock, believed to be owned by an older man who bumped it.
Fitted it and all was well, feels a lot smoother and crisp to drive and spools up better than the old, but sat in works car park yesterday for about 3 mins ticking over waiting for a space went to pull forward and i got this cloud of blue smoke come past my window
Im hoping and hoping some more this is just down to oil in the exhaust that just needs to burn off? It doesnt smell as oily as it did before, if you used to let it tick over with the old turbo and stand behind it, it would stink your clothes out within minutes of a burnt oil stench.
Only other thing is its overfuelling due to a **** map, and because if decat it its not running right but booked in for remap 1st of next month.
Any ideas? Oil lines were fine going to the turbo by the way, i had no oil in any of the intercooler pipes or intake/boost pipes, hot and cold sides.
