so the story goes, my partner started up her 32 a few days ago and it started to pump a little white smoke, she thought nothing of it initally until she backed down the driveway and it started pumping huge clouds of white smoke,

thought i could be a few things so ive pulled the turbo and dump off tonight and the issues are:

Cooler piping from turbo to cooler has trail of oil (more than your usual blowby)

Intake pipe has trail of oil

Exhaust housing and dump are full of oil

And theres alot of condensation in the dump and exhaust housing and a white coating over alot of the oil, is this condensation mixing with the oil or something more sinister ?

theres no milky paste under the oil cap

its been burning quite abit of oil recently

was no sign of any smoke from start up to full throttle when warm before this

given how much smoke it was pumping out taking it to a workshop for a comp test was out of the question,

any info is appreciated, or any tests that dont involve taking it to a shop.

Cheers.

    • I would not replace the gauges. A well setup tune should never require any of that. I'm of the opinion that if you can't safely hand over a car to your parents to drive it's not fit for purpose and more engineering work should be done. Honestly I'm not a fan of external boost controller boxes either but if you have to you can shove the controller into the glovebox or something once it's set up. Tee it off the OEM MAP sensor. Also you probably want to put a two pin plug on the new solenoid, bolting it to the OEM location works. Just separate the wastegate line and compressor outlet so it will work on a 3 port solenoid, kevboost was walked through how to do this on an RB26, same idea just different locations on an RB25. You may have to remove the restrictor in the OEM hoses if they're still in there. 
    • Yep, it's why in Australia we never brought in the 1 child policy like China.  China can't afford to use the shit they make in their own country as it's too much to risk having only one child...  Or maybe that's how they test their shit before they send it to Australia - they use the second kid that families had when they weren't supposed to as the tester?  They weren't supposed to exist in the first place so no loss if they succumb to a work place incident?  🤣
    • It's also the reason neither Duncan or I can own a car rotisserie
    • this is the reason we have more than one child right?
    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
