Shaft doesn't move in and out, I can move it up and down pretty close to the inlet bell but it doesn't rub
Engine has 5k or so on it
Pulled the plugs they have very small amount of oil on them by the thread but plugs looks good normal color not black at all
Miles on the turbo are unknown...
Been having a smoking problem after warm idle light bluish only at idle if i press on the pedal and let go it will shoot a small cloud of smoke and disappears in 2-4 sec smells like oil...I looked in the let of the turbo and there is black residue, up pipe is all clean..
here is a pic of the turbo
I'm no expert but I was having the same issue only can get 5lbs of boost lots of knock turns out my vacuum line to the fuel regulator was plugged! I'm not saying yours is plugged but it could be fuel related. Just my 2 cents...good luck I been there you'll get it fixed!
Happy new year guys!!
I want to give a special thanks to
Steve aka lil truck and crazy chris aka dankGN for helping me get my car running right and getting it to bates last year. I owe you guys big time! Looking forward to ride along you guys soon and smoke them tires!
