Re: [Mk2] [SC] Rev 2 Turbo cut out on boost

For thos with similar symptons tried the coil pack and hey presto she is running perfect, turns out the earth problem on the starter relay is unrelated.

[Mk2] [SC] Rev 2 Turbo cut out on boost

Put a new rocker cover g...

So after some high boost runs I find lots of oil over the gearbox, engine oil that is. I have the crankcase vented to atmosphere via a KN filter, no catch can and it seems to be ...

[Mk2] [Turbo] Smoke after throttle release

Gents I am suffering fairly heavy smoke only after releasing the throttle with the turbo making boost. Is this typical of the seals in the turbo failing or would this smoke constantly? It def sees turbo related as I can drive without any boost and theres n smoke.
Thanks Craig.
