hello all im after a driection to take with sorting my gti
my car has had a remap (apr i think )and has 3"turbo back exhaust inc decat has the oversized induction kit (ITG) .
had a full top end rebuld inc invalve stem seals head gasket ect at psi tuning in 2012 (50k ago) and the pcv is fine (done all the tests)
The problem im having is when the car is up to temp im getting grey smoke out the exhaust when pulling from a stop and when i go on hard acceleration i get a ploom of it then it clears ,   if i turn the car off wile its up to temp and nip into the shops lets say it will smoke on start up for a second or two .
The car doesent seem to smoke on start up when cold and doesnt seem to smoe on normal driving wile its not up to temp until i have a stab at the throttle to merge into traffic lets say, and  i get a very small puff bearly noticable .
 I have been reading into catch cans ect and im getting mixed reviews but i saw this on google and i followed a link and the guy did this to a ttrs and seems to have got good results from it .
He had 2 catch cans one on the front (in the pic) and another on the rear both in line of normal pcv and still getting the vac needed ??
would this work to get oil out ovf my intake ect or is it a waist of time and im barking at the wrong tree ??

thanks jay

Paradox1:
This is a TSI engine isn't it?

I'm not sure if the catch tank has been installed correctly

jay26r:
Its a different way to most i have seen but this way keeps the vac line in the loop ???

Hi mate, I could have got one for £100 ready to fit but was told by the gurus on this forum not to bother so I wouldn't bother if I were you.

You issue could be the piston rings but that's usually blue puffs of smoke.

jay26r:
Wouldnt rings smoke all the time tho ?
