Xenons in a UK question?

Xenons in a UK question?
I still dont get it, what do I have to do? I assume if I leave it alone my xenons will try to light up dull when just the sidelights are on? and this will damage them!?

boost surge questions
I have a stage 1 Saab 9-5 HOT Aero, sometimes, not all the time under full acceleration in 3rd, 4th & 5th as the car reaches peak boost (1 bar) it will surge (rapidly flutter in and out of boost), when it does it I can actually see my boost gauge going wild and hear the boost fluttering when the window is down. Like I say it dosnt always do it - only when the map is requesting high levels of boost from the turbo (dosnt always i.e if fuel is good, air density is good etc etc). My question is though, why does my car do this? Turbo too small? Turbo too big? Poor mapping? knackered bov? boost leak? Cheers guys, Dan

Is there anything that he can do to the PCV valves? Is the problem that they get blocked? Can they be cleaned out or anything? Or is just a case of getting them replaced?

Exhaust smoke when stopped...???
Cant say I have noticed on the inside of the exhaust, but the back of the car does get black particles on it when I have been driving hard, although they are easy to notice as it is a white car
-
Exhaust smoke when stopped...???
no definatly not steam, it smelt and lingered (too heavy for steam) and yes definatly from out the exhaust pipes, however, it might have been just one side but not 100% sure, the last time I saw this was a couple of years ago mid summer when I left it ticking over for about 10 minutes on a very hot day... but have never seen it since, until today
-
Exhaust smoke when stopped...???
I had driven my Z for approx 20 miles today before stopping at a set of lights, as soon as I had stopped I noticed lots of smoke blowing past me, it was coming out of the exhaust. It was quite a substantial amount - enough to make me close my window as it began to come inside the car, it soon cleared and by the time the lights changed it was completely clear and didnt smoke again for the rest of the journey... The smoke smelt, but I dont recall it being very blue in colour. Although it did all happen quite quick as I wasnt expecting it. Is this a sign of poor turbo seals? or something else? What options have i got? Thanks guys, Dan
