Edition 30 smoking on boost

The car runs absolutely perfect, just a bit concerned as it never used to smoke

Or is it you never noticed??..is it every time you plant the throttle, or just the 1st initial foot down from when you've been pottering around?.
Ashley g:
Every time I put my foot down hard. Most noticeable in high rpms in high gears.

As steve says they all smoke to some extent... Mine was smoking black when booting it, and i was getting very black tail pipes and clumps of soot on the boot, though since having new plugs/fuel filter/oil change and the Revo tweaked from F7 to F8(which is leaner) it hasn't been smoking so much, tail pipe don't blacken as quick and just a fine dusting over the boot... You are always going to get some as it's a high powered turbo application and always better to have it set a little rich than too lean... no poke without smoke ;)
Jim at JKM says its normally... I was pulling no faults, burns no oil, probably put in 1/2 a litre in between services(approx 8000miles) and it's pulling strong...
I wouldn't worry about it, it's just alarming you've noticed it, i was the same...
Ashley g:
Cheers for the replies! This is definately 100% not always smoked on boost which is why I'm worried and thinking its maybe turbo related? Any thoughts?
