Blue Exhaust Smoke

[JCMS07]

I installed the CP-E catted downpipe last weekend and a day later I noticed that there was a little smoke coming out of the exhaust. As the days passed more and more blue smoke would come out and I could see it while driving. I decided to take a look at the install again and I noticed oil by the turbo. I re-used the same downpipe gasket but it doesn't look to be leaking from there. Now I need to find a mod friendly dealer, so if anyone knows of one in so cal let me know.

welcome to the smokey turbo club sir...
and i dont know of any mod friendly dealers..
but from what i hear huntington mazda or something in that area is pretty cool about these things.
doubt theyll give you the new turbo with the DP still on the car though

the oil comes and goes off my turbo...

bet if you switched to a heavier oil it wouldn't smoke at all.

Well....what were the results??

[JCMS07]

I switched over to 5w40 today and also adjusted the hoses for the occ, but my car is still smoking. I'm going to give it a few days but I might be going back to stock over the Thanksgiving weekend and then go to the dealer.

Good luck... I'd like to see what the issue was.

subbing for updates jc

[JCMS07]

I'm back to being stock except for the cp-e cbe and I've gone to the dealer before with it on and they haven't said anything. I just need to pick up a hose for the bypass valve that needed to be cut to install the cobb fmic. I should be going to the dealer sometime this week, but I still see oil underneath the turbo and the smoking stopped after the stock downpipe was back on.

how was the dp install?

[JCMS07]

The downpipe install wasn't too bad, it just took a long time to do it. Putting the stock downpipe back on seemed to take me longer for some reason so I might stay stock for a while.
