[Mk2] [Turbo] Smoke of exhaust wenn standing still

Post by MR-TOYOTA »

Hello,

I have an problem with my car.

Wenn i drive the car doesn't smoke, but wenn i stop for the traffic light their comes about 2-4 seconds later smoke (blues gray) out of the exhaust.

The cars pulls and drives good and has no other problems.

Does anybody know what the problem could be?? :-k

Thanks!

Wenn i start the car it doesn't smoke. Only wenn i driven it smokes wenn i stop.

I have a fairly free flowing exhaust, no cat with an Apexi n1.

but when u r in traffic and ure idling if u give it a rev does it clear up

if you have a weak turbo to start with and have it that free flowing u will find it does start leaking, on the exhaust side.

My money is on the turbo, check the shaft for play...

Mine had the exact same problem, swapped it for a GT28rs, problem solved :thumleft:
