Hey guys. The problem that I am having is that there is smoke coming from the area where the turbo and where the downpipe is. It does not happen frequently but here and there. I dont know if it just needs a new gasket or something. But was wondering what you guy think it could be. It only started to do this after I tuned the car to stage one. The smoke smells like burning oil.

I have a Cat back exhaust and a downpipe. Tuned to stage one and sometimes stage 2. I am running 10W30 royal purple synthetic oil.

If you guys have any ideas please let me know. Its making me worried. Thanks

IMO it shouldnt have any negative effects on the turbo ... if anythign its helping the flow but if you are trying to get this done under warranty ... well the DP may void that?

Dont take it to a dealer ... take it to a tuner ! if you give me a bit I might be able to track one down in Jersey for ya!
