Blowing Black Smoke On Idle And Won't Rev Past Midway

[C.T_07]

When i bought my car, i had the same problem. It was due to old spark plugs and a f**kd up turbo.

Hope you get your problem sorted out soon.

If the turbo is f***ked up will it blow white smoke? Like is the oil seals are gone will it burn oil. More when it on boost, high rpm or just idle?

Hey guys. After reading someone else's thread about turbo whine I thought my intercooler piping might be off cos they said it would blow black smoke and struggles to rev past ~4000rpm. Well seeing as the sun was shining and I could see unlike last time. I checked all my Inter cooler piping. Then went through and checked all my vacuum lines. Check everything. All were fine except one that was only a lil bit out of the connector pipe. Saw there are cable tie wear marks, plumbed it back in, slapped on a New cable tie and she is sweet. Must be the vacuum line to the ECU.

Thanks Al. Sorry for being a bit stupid before. Car is making big power again, Runs and Idles perfectly.

Cheers boys
