My old s2 did this and it was the oil return pipe on the bottom of the turbo leaking oil on to the exhaust, got a right shock when the guy at ford wanted £35 for 4inches of rubber pipe
it could well be the headgasket but worth looking at the pipe

I don't want to sound like an arse, but if it made its peak power (bhp) at 3600rpm and with such a torque spike, that car was definately wheel-spinning!
Peak power should be close to the rev limit, so in a moderate spec RST, peak power will be somewhere between 5500 and 6000 rpm.

the guy at the dyno said it wasnt wheel spinning,its got a bayjoo chip,a stage one head and a new block bored to a 1660 lightened and balanced if that makes any difference.

No, no difference. I'd bet money it did have a traction issue. As I said, I don't want to sound like I'm being a c'ock, but hate to see people led under the impression that their cars have made a certain power, when it's down to a poor RR run.
Peak power at 3600rpm is ridiculous. LOL.

but as for smoke issue, get a payen/ford head gasket on, i've got a couple of engines running them and thay are so good considering they are less than £18 from a motor factors.

as christian said something is not right there, look at any dyno printout and u will see most rs turbos make peak power between 5500 & 6000 rpm
also 300 ft/lbs of torque is not possible with ur spec and if ur car genuinely was 300 ft/lbs ur bhp should be around the same
