    Anyone that was at the RS Motors dyno day could sere the smoke roll out of my exhaust. RBP 05 LGT with the FMIC. I knew it was smoking a little, but never saw how much until I was outside the car and watching.

    Fresh engine 700 miles on build. I am running Amsoil.

    Car never smokes when cold or on start up. Seems to be worse if I use the engine to slow down.

    I was thinking it was most likely a seal in the turbo. Anyone else have any thoughts.

    Kind of thought so, Glad the Master has chimed in.

    Nuke, what do you suggest as a replacement? You know mt build and I would like your input.
    Thanks

    Yeah I could smell the oil. I was like that's a little too much smoke as well. It did happen mostly under boost so I do agree with Nuke as well.
