What colour is the smoke and does it clear when warmed up, if black smoke would be fuel and something could have been damaged or disturbed while swapping turbos, also if only after just starting could be wd40 burning off, if it runs ok leave ticking over fir a bit then reassess it on next startup.

was it a like for like swap?

check the oil return is connected correctly and crack the oil feed banjo when its running to see if you're getting oil to the turbo.

If you're upgrading to a VF34 then you'll need a map for certain.

could be oil in the cylinders from the knackered turbo you took off ?

okay.. the turbo i took off was only a year old! perfect.. i left it running for 20 mins and it did die down alot! just a tiny bit of smoke. rang my freind at powerstation he said just where ive lost coolant or oil etc and its got into the exhaust.

its booked in for a remap next month! just sat there waiting now.

thanks anyway guyss!

realistic target mate, 400 is a big step up tho. What gearbox/clutch you running? What year is the Scoob?

JamieJerkovic
