Default after a lil diagnostic driving...

i will be installing a boos gauge tomorrow to check what kind of boost im making, however, after a qick drive tonight to pep boys to get detailing stuff (see post on awot), i realized that either a: some seal in the turbo is leaking a lil oil into the exhaust or 2: my car doesnt like winter and decided to turn my exhaust into a smoke stack shooting out black soot all the time...

maybe i shoulda let the turbo cool off a lil more after racing sat night... tsk tsk....oh well...maybe its time for a k04 to go with my timing belt that needs to go in soon. see ya on the flipside, ive got a nasty cold and need to pass out now...gnight

Default Smoke is black or blue?

If it's black, the turbo might be fine....

Default its black, however should the turbo be fine (hopefully not)
