Default powerless

Dan, if your around thanks for the turbo! not fitted but am waiting..

in the meanwhile thought id just get a bit of info on why my car is powerless.

Basically at the moment ive just had a rebuild, which didnt include the cam, but did include the followers. my follwers were buggerd before (some were lifted out) and i was told that the cam and follwers should go together.

Now my current turbo has a major oil leak, so im getting light bluey smoke out the back, and i have no power. oil is defitly being burnt as can smell it out the back, will ths affect my power. i literally have no power its running like a 1.1, perhaps even slower. I have a clean stg 1 turbo thanks to a nutter with a 3 sec fiesta lol.

the question is.. will this oil leak (oil has also been found in charge carrier, which means its had to go through the intercooler, through the exhaust manifolds aswell) drop my power??

cheers all!

The car needs a good looking, checking and setting up.

Any oil being burnt will affect power as it lowers the octane of the fuel.
