Plenty threads on black smoke, is it normal etc, smoking turbo etc
But what I want to know is how much of it have you been known to blow? How dirty is your beast?
Naturally the MPS runs rich from factory and also being turbocharged its nothing new to learn she blows puffs of black smoke on a keen run, no dramas
Currently I'm running the turbosmart BOV at 50/50, I occasionally get a few snap crackle and pops (I'm aware of correct BOV spring set-up etc to solve this)
Driving home last night, had a burn in 2nd gear. What happened next sounded similar to a LOUD whip-crack, and the most smoke I've ever seen from the MPS.
So much I couldn't see pretty much anything behind yet I know a Ford XR6 was following just a moment ago. *Squints eyes* "Is that a grey datsun?"
So one vehicle is a part-time flame thrower, the other is a part time James bond escape smoke screen.
I'm guessing my car is a couple of kilo's lighter now Anyone else out-smoke a diesel from time to time?
