car smokes on cold start
Its a new precision turbo JB. I am running a 3an line. It seems like the car only smokes on startup. Its not a whole lot like big clouds but enough to were if I start the car and let it warm up in the garage with the garage door open after a minute or two the garage gets a little smokey. After warming up there is no smoke at all and even after doing a warm start there isnt. It looks like a whitish color maybe possibly blue, but my oil consumption doesnt seem to be changing nor does the coolant level drop. Wondering what it could be? I did do a compression test before installing and it came out perfect. Car has 86k miles, f22.
Check the turbo turbine side - could be leaking a little after run. It's hard to check the turbine side unless you unbolt the exhaust pipe.
But what you can do is remove the intake pipe going to the air cleaner to the compressor. Wiggle the turbo shaft up and down and check if there
is a noticeable play.
Also, did you blow the turbo before the new one or this is a new install ?
did you clean the system including the intercooler.
