I just installed this today and prior to that I was seeing smoke every time I drove. Doing a test drive today for about 30 minutes I haven't seen any smoke.
I did not use the a check valve for the oil cap breather and I do have the ccv connected.
I've been wondering about this topic.
I originally installed the VS PCV head port check valves. And BMR vented oil cap. I added a 1pound check valve to the oil cap and made a line to an Amazon catch can. It never had any oil in it. I have been getting smoke out of the exhaust ocassionally.
I...
I'm pretty sure I did it in the wrong order. I tightened the v bracket then went on the the turbo manifold. I had to remove the v bracket in order the get the turbo mounted correct, but now the holes for the v bracket to line up.
Thanks for the photos. I think all I need to do is loosen the bolts and nuts and lift the turbo up. I'm seeing 24 PSI at around 3700, so I think the manifold is sealed just not aligned correctly.
Is this gap normal. I didn't pay attention when removing the turbo, but just noticed this. It's the right side of the bottom bracket that holds the turbo
My experience with the 6769 has been good. I have noticed a small amount of smoke every once in a while, nothing that would make me think "oh shit my engine is blown". Just a small enough amount to make me wonder if I just saw smoke or was my mind playing tricks on me. I think thats normal. I...
I definitely see my IATs drop on pulls with meth. I've heard lots of people talk about only seeing 10 degree temps over ambient with different manifolds, but not posting data as extensive and @razorlab . I stay pretty consistent at 10-20 degrees over ambient doing pulls until I hit heat soak and...
What intake do you have? I ask becuase I just switched from the Armaspeed to CTS, the MST and some others are similar. When I first installed the CTS intake I had the metal piece pushed into the silicone too far towards the turbo and my temps were fine at first but after a couple wots my temps...
I think it depends on how heat soak. If I'm heat soaked, usually if car is sitting for a while after use then I go out and try to do some pulls I'll see a 15 degree increase. When im not heat soak and do several pulls ina row I'll see temps go down again couple degrees at first then slowly climb...
When i first installed the wagner IM i wasn't getting good cooling. After doing all the bleeding over and over, in the back of my mind I thought I had the coolant lines switch, but also double amd triple checked when I installed them, so I never did anything about it. Later on I switch the lines...
