steel wire downpipe? this is new to me... i've never seen a steel wire? and why would it be smoking?
Maybe i wasn't clear; but the smoke from the engine bay is simultaneous with engine RPM, i thought initially it could be the GUNK i sprayed, burning up, but it only smokes when rev'ing the engine.
I also checked the bulk head, but couldnt feel/smell any soot; from which dirt was there at least.
I'm fairly confident on this one that it's a fannymold gasket, or a leaky turbo seal...
In which case, i'm on the look out for a new turbo... rather than attempting to diagnose what the hell is right/wrong with the motor before FCS :think:
