Message	I've been reading all kinds of stuff about the smoking turbos in the last couple days, so I searched around and found posts saying that stock and JWT turbos smoke with open exhaust, but that other aftermarket turbos don't have this problem. But, I really couldn't find a clear concensus about why. Additionally, it seems like some people have the problem and some don't. What's the deal?
