So I seem to have a puff of smoke coming out the exhaust when I rev the engine a couple of times.
I also noticed it yesterday when I stopped at a roundabout, the wind blew a bit past the window.
I couldn't really tell the colour of it, it looks more grey than anything. The car still boosts well.
I have checked the oil and it doesn't look like its burnt any and the water levels are fine and no mayonnaise in the oil.
The only thing i can think is that there is oil getting past the seals on my turbo which is brand new Precision Turbo 6266 CEA Dual Ball bearing.
Before fitting I asked them if I needed a restrictor on the turbo and they said no. I asked again after this happened and they said it can take up to 85psi which is about 5bar but 'could' take more. Well my engine runs at 7bar on full boost so that's quite a bit more i would think?
The turbo has about 500ish miles on it, if I fit a restrictor now, will I be lucky and I should be OK? Or will the damage already have been done?
