Sunny to Overcast- A Smoking SX story
Posted: Fri Nov 28, 2008 9:10 am
Hi Ppl
I need some help, my SX S13 is smoking on idle ALOT.
It used to happen when I gun it on 5th gear at 5500RPM and let go of the throttle it used to smoke but recently its smoking heavy on idle.
Im sure its the turbo thats causing it as its about the right ammount of milage for it to give up.
If I open one of the boost pipes and check for alot of oil, would this be an indication that the Turbo is going?
I dont want to put the stock turbo if it is the case, and Im thinking of a T28.
If I put the T28, Do I HAVE to put a chip or management or will the stock ECU handle this or compensate for it?
Im not gonna boost wild
Budget is tight....holiday??? SX???holiday???SX????
I wanna do both!!!!
Also I heard the T28 is a bolt on turbo, are all T28's bolt ons or are there specific ones that are bolt-on.
Know anyone in JHB who will do the work for me????
