smoking car

[2.5bluenob]

Hi all,
My car has been smoking for a while now and getting really bad. I had a compresion and leak down test done and all was ok.
so the next job was to get the turbos off and cheack for wear, however as the car has gone in for a service i'd asked for the garage to have a look and see what they think. They think the turbo's are being supplied with too much oil and need to put a restriction in the oil line. They have done this to nobles before and think its the best solution.

Has anyone heard of this before????

Hi Steve , all Noble turbos should have restrictors fitted , if you take the oil supply pipe off the turbo there should only be a small hole !!! Got a replacement one from universal turbos

The new fittings with my gt'rs turbos has a very small hole, as in pinhole, is that right? The previous ones were quite a bit bigger.

If anything I guess at least the much smaller volume of oil passing through will result in the oil temps staying lower for longer. Bonus

take the car for a hard drive and then let it idle for about 5 mins

give it a hard rev - does it smoke then ?

remove the pipe to the intercooler - is there oil in the pipe ?

Thanks for the replies guys.
Can't do any testing at the mo as the car is with the garage .Hopefuly it is just a simple fix.
