just wanted to say thanks to all for helping me with my " smoke out the tailpipe " problem. A few weeks ago my car started bellowing out blue smoke when i stopped at a light or whatever so i figured the seals in the turbo were shot.

i was about to buy another turbo and per your advice said to do the pcv sys. on my car first ( has almost 200k never been done ) well i got her all done today and no smoke runs perrrrfecct !!

thanks again to everyone, i got my baby back B)

Phil-

So when you got the old PCV parts out(hoses and trap) were any clogged? Or any ports on the engine blocked with gunk or carbon?

Thanks

Next thing you can do is use Seafoam and clean the intake, put a can in the tank ( shake care good after you put it in though) It may smoke a bit after that but its ok. Suff is doing its job. Then you can put about a 1/3 cup through the vacum tree and keep the idle up. Cleans the gunk off the valves and inside the intake manifold.

.. yeah my EGR port in the intake was completely clogged up, the oil trap itself had alot of gunk inside it, and the valve thats connected in the intake manifold was clogged. I think thats how the oil was getting to my turbo. Ive driven qute a bit today and no smoke and runs smoooooth.

ive read about the seafoam... where do u get it at ????

any auto parts store should carry it

and purchase an extra bit of vacuum tubing with it
