Only seems to do this when its warm and clears after a few hard revs! Any ideas of what the problem is?

What oil are you using Zman?

get on the line as fast as you can to Johhny at GPS and get a oil breather kit. It will sort that no problem

Sorry but going just a shade off topic, but with good reason! wink.gif

 

Fuck it! Let's just do a group buy on T28's like what the WaZZa is using to jet propel his clockwork Strawberry! LMAO! I wouldn't mind 431 bhp at the back boots...REZPECT! biggrin.gif

looks like you are suffering with the same problem as me so there are a few rules that you will have to follow to preserve the turbos if it is that your dont have a couple of grand to have your turbos repaired/replaced. There is also the option of having the turbo breather kit which I would recommend from Johney

 

Make sure that you give the car at least 3-5 minutes tick over before you set off from cold. Do not rev the engine during this time.

 

For the next 5-10 minutes of driving(depending on weather) try not to go over the magical 4K revs.

 

I don't need to mention about giving the turbos a minute or 2 at the end of voyage.(i know, but i have - oh well)

 

Lastly, if you are using synthietic oil, it's better to use something that is slightly thicker when cold like Mobil 15w50.

 

Some of the lads also recommend the Magnetec oil but I can can not comment as I have not used it before.

 

Let us know how you get on.
