My S2 has started smoking quite a bit when i let off the throttle, it seems fine when its under load just on over run

Any idea's what could be causing this??

If its a turbo problem i have my stg 2 one ready to go on so its not a big deal, if its something to do with the bottom end it could be autotrader time

Sick of spending money on it thats all

Well i've got a stg 2 head and turbo so if it is the bottom end i could always get a low comp jobby and build a new engine

Or just sell it with the head and turbo for someone else with more enthusiasm to do it

Mine did the same.It turned out to be oil in the boost pipes.Put a bailey breather system on it and sorted it.To be honest could be turbo as well, but would try the cheaper option first

Sounds like turbo seals Matt. If you've got the stg2 then put it on, won't cost you anything except your time. Process of elimination. Start there.
