So recently I did a hard pull up a hill in third gear. Everything was normal but when I hit boost I noticed a whitish smoke coming from where the waste gate screamer pipe comes out the side of the car. When I got home I noticed that the top oil feed to the turbo was leaking a bit.Ever since then, after a hard run, and ai leave the car idling for a few minutes, white smoke starts to come out the exhaust which is fairly noticeable. I was thinking that the turbo seals have gone, allowing oil in to the exhaust causing the smoke, but since I've never had a leaky oil feed before could it be as simple as the oil leaking out of the feed being the problem? Or could it be that the previous owner had put too thicker oil into the car? (only had the car a few weeks)The turbo is a TD07 and is high mounted.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Cheers

Does sound like the turbo. But before you go spendong mony;

- Does the car have its.carbon canister/ pollution gear?

- Have you got the std PCV setup or running a catch can system?

- Have you checked to see if its using any oil?

- Is the engine built, standard...whats the history of the car?

I don't think it still has a carbon canister or even a cat, but then again I don't know if Fj20s came with carbon canisters?No it runs a catch can setup, which vents to atmosphere.It does seem to be using a bit of oil but I don't know if it's been doing it constantly or if it only just started recently with this smoke.As far as i know the engine is standard with aftermarket cams and a dirty great turbo strapped to the side which was fitted either just before it was imported by C-red or by the guy who bought it from them. I don't know exactly when it was imported as the receipts I have only go back as far as 2006 but I assume it was a bit before then.

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
