Okay, so I've got a smoking problem (not cigarettes). I get a puff of smoke when I take off from a stop light and that's the only time. I had the valse stem seals replaced maybe six months ago and figured that would resolve my problem. It did resolve my startup smoking problem, but that's it.
Just got my car back the other day from Sound Performance in chicago. They were originally going to pull the head and have it redone (due to a bad leak down test I did with a friend), but they redid the compression and leak down tests and they said the head/valves were fine. So while it was there I brought a newer set of stock twins (mine had like 160k on them) so I figured that's probably where the smoke was coming from. They replaced just the turbos (not the piping or manifolds) and a few worn vacuum hoses. Still smokes. In fact it seems to smoke a little worse, but only when I take off from a stop light or tap the throtlle after it idles for a minute.
Please tell me if you have any ideas why my car could be smoking, it's very annoying and honestly kind of embarrasing.
Thanks.
