hi guys,my mate has a focus RS which he has just had the turbo replaced on due to it smoking but still smokes.it has 55 000 miles on the clock, FFSH, is running about 260bhp and has the recommended oil viscosity in it.any ideas as to wat is causing the smoke,could it be the valve stem seals as it only smokes when the oil is hot and has been reved?

Bit of blow by on the rings maybe? Phone up and go and see Rob Oldman at SCC in St. Albans

oil left in the boost pipes and charge cooler from the last turbo failure!

Were they cleaned out?

when does it smoke?idle?under load?

Maybe the exhaust boxes has oil in it or possibly the cat. maybe the intercooler has some oil left in from previous failure as mentioned above

What the above said. Fired up a 200sx after a turboreplace.. God damn though it was on fire

the RS has done around 50miles since the turbo has been replaced,dont think the pipes were cleaned out tho.wen the car has been reved up then let back to idle it smokes for a bit.its a hybrid turbo that he replaced it with and i was wondering is it maybe needing set up properly as the actuator has not been changed 2 suit the cars performance,unburnt fuel maybe entering the exhaust?
