Yes using the same head and block as before, but with it all being checked and machined etc.

Just went out for a drive in it now, and was putting under a little load 10 psi and changing up and going through the gears a little and also engine braking a little.

When I got home and put the car back in the garage, i looked at the exhuast and there was a little bit of white smoke coming from the back.....it smelt bit oily to me but was white.......
The smoke was very light and was only there for a few seconds and then it was gone.....

I am thinking maybe turbo??????

I still think its just running in but of course it could be the turbo..

Tbh i think your just a bit para about the whole new engine running in process...just crack on as you are and before you know it your be able to run some proper boost and if there is a real problem it will show its self sooner rather than later..

Cant remember what turbo you said now but if you want to check it then after a run but when it cooled down abit take the filter hose of and grab the nut in the centre of the comp wheel and see if there is any in and out play as well as any excess side to side..

if it isnt alot then i doubt theres much wrong with it but if theres play then the turbo needs a going over..


cheers danny
