SMOKIN'! Turbo
Another question about my recently purchased '83 5ksT... I seem to have
a bit of a problem burning oil... like large amounts of blue (and rarely
black) smoke emanate from my exhaust pipe. Well, as long as I'm fogging,
it's all fine and good, but I sure would like to cut down on the stares
at every stoplight. However, yesterday morning I drove my car to work
the HARD way -- without using the Turbo at all. Oh it was damn
sluggish! However, it proved a point I was wondering about... after 25
minutes of driving, my fogging was still minimal.
My question: Could my Turbo be the cause of my volumnous emissions? Or,
was my lack of smoke more a result of lack of stress on the engine? If
it IS my Turbo, any ideas on how I can fix it... economically?
Thanks...
