HSTuners - View Single Post - my new turbo setup

Hello,

I just installed my turbo setup. Cr is still at 10:1 and I don't retard timing. However, I have 550cc injectors with 8:1 RRFPR so I run on the rich side all accross the band.

Tried it at 8 psi and worked fine with no detonation at all.
Then, turbo seals blew off, resulting in oil in my intake. I emptied the whole content of engine oil that way but stopped just in time. Engine did not heat and runs fine, turbo is being rebuilt with new seals.

Now, I'm running the engine in atmospheric mode hoping it will clean itself from this turbo failure. It runs OK but there's smoke coming out of the engine cover blow-by.

My question: is this smoke coming out of the cover vent just a result of the oil the engine swallowed, or is this sign that I blew my rings? Engine turns normally with no unusual sound.

Thanks for your advise.
