Message I've read the comments and wanted to chime in.
Here are my symptoms:
- No residual oil in intercooler piping
- Smoking intermittently at idle
- No smoking @ high RPMs 3rd gear and higher.
- No smoking at initial startup
- Smoking only at warm-up and idle conditions

Compression test results an average 136-142 Cyl #1-6 (rather low)

Over the winter I bolted on the following components:
Complete PCV delete
Full 2.5 intercooler piping
Z1 675RS Turbos
3.0 DP
3.0->2.5 TP
2.5->2.38 Borla Exhaust

The above are upgrades from a Stage II+ LB

My initial setup included a Stage II+ LB <1200mi and the following components:
Stock 2.0 intercooler piping
Z1 600R Turbos
2.5 DP
Gutted cats
2.38 Borla exhaust
No smoking whatsoever with this setup and I can't figure out why after upgrading a few components this problem began :(

Q) Is there anything here you may see that is eye-opening?
Q) What are some leading indicators for (white) smoking exhaust(s)?
Q) Has anyone experienced popped seals from brand new Z1 675RS turbos?

Any help on this would be great.

Si
