| Not Ranked : 0 score from what i've read, reduced back pressure causes a reduction in the resistance in the PCV allowing oil to flow easier into intake manifold. since the PCV IS only open at idle and light cruising this is why you see smoke at this point because its getting burned up. ultimately an oil catch can will probably fix this as well as cleaning out the intake manifold. |

| Not Ranked : 0 score fuel wont make smoke come out. its oil from the pcv. a catch can will fix you up. if you dont see smoke under heavy throttle, it aint the turbo . |
