| How much of the system did you have to clean out, or how long did it take to get the oil burned out of the system? Not terribly long ago I noticed my 93TT was smoking, and gradually getting worse. Ignorance with the PCV system lead me to believe the issue existed with the turbos, or possibly the longblock I actually made it to the point of swapping both engine/turbos out for known good units, while still keeping the smoking issue. Fortunately this is stuff I just have laying around After re-installing, the issue was still there.....doing alot more research I found a post regarding PCV's and the restrictors being goofy. These PCV valves and hoses were only about 1k miles old so I was unsure why they'd be messed up. The original poster included this video to better identify the symptoms [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sg3ROcoL7gA ] My car was still doing the exact same thing (as the video), and then I found on the passenger side, the restrictor in the front-most PCV hose was cocked sideways. There was a good amount of oil in the Plenum as well. I took off the plenum, power washed it, and cleaned anything I could get my hands on. The car still smokes identical to what it did, after about 100 miles or so, and prob 30 mins of idling in the garage.....so I am curious if theres just a ton of shit in the exhaust system now, or if I need to be looking elsewhere
