Re: Help Diagnose My Car's Problem - Video Side

Does your car have a cat on it or did it stop smoking once it was warmed up? If you go make a 2nd or 3rd gear pull with it, and it smokes like a brush fire while under boost, its more likely turbo, if it doesn't just smokes a little bit when cold or at idle, its more likely valve stem seals. Bad piston rings typically cause smoking when you let up, or on the back off. These aren't rules by any means, but just in my experience.
