Been playing with my car today doing a few jobs and playing with the wastegates and boost controller so i can have a nice 1 bar with the controller switched off which it does now :)

 

Anyway once we had sorted that out i went out on a nice long straight road to set up the boost controller to 1.2 and 1.5 bar!! started off low with the gain and eventually the controller takes over from the wastegate so its a case of keep tuning the boost controller up which i kept doing and giving it a run which was enjoyable ;)

 

Next thing i'm at 1.1 bar and a bike starts to race me so thought why not so floored it after him, overtook him and as i did smoke pours out the back!!! :confused: OH SH!T i thought i've blown it now.

 

Anyway nursed it home and its stops smoking??? boost it and not smoking?? pulls on my drive and smoke coming from the bonnet!! so i'm looking where from and its looking like its shot a load of oil up the dipstick :rant: so my breather system is not doing its job???

 

So any ideas are welcome??

 

i think it may be that as my catchtank doesnt have a breather filter??

 

Very very glad i didnt actually blow the car up :x: as i feared i'd fooked a piston!!

I have this issue. Car failed its MOT couple of years ago because it decided to smog out. Changed everything on the car and, still did it. Now, since coming back from teh bodyshop it hasnt smoked once.

Just to update

 

Checked the plenum and nothing in there thank god

 

Also checked my catch tank and as i thought not a thing in there!! so looks like i need a catch tank with a breather on it as its not pulling in anything so another job!!

 

Just very glad i didnt do any harm apart from my pride ;)
