Default Got Smoke????
Hiya All,
Newbie Sy here, Just brought my first turbo, 1988 escort rs turbo. I brought it about 4 week ago & took it on the motorway today, going down the slip i increased my speed a little i was in fourth & once in the slow lane i went to put it into 5th & the car held back ALOT like i'd breaked & then got 3 little pops, then a big pop then a puff of black smoke shot out the exhaust. After that it drove fine & the turbo is still kicking in, the bailey dump valve is dumping sweet as ever but this pop & blow has spun me out Any advice on what the hell happened is greatly appreciated, im still getting to grips with the car & engine. Ive always wanted 1 & now i can afford the insurance im keeping my fingers crossed i havent brought a shed Cheers
Sy
