However, it keeps smoking and stinking at an extreme rate. I already changed the turbo for another one from a scrapped car. Do you guys have any idea what is likely the issue ?<br /> <br /> ----<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Z_Karma:&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;small&gt;(2024-03-22 16:14:57)&lt;/small&gt;<br /> <br /> What does it smell like?<br /> <br /> What do the plugs look like?<br /> <br /> Coolant = sweet smell<br /> <br /> Gas = fuel/petrol, obviously<br /> <br /> Burning oil = burning oil (leakdown test to determine where the oil is leaking)<br /> <br /> ----<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;mwolvinm:&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;small&gt;(2024-03-24 16:52:39)&lt;/small&gt;<br /> <br /> You can pull the plugs and inspect them too.<br /> <br /> ----<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;RoyalZ:&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;small&gt;(2024-04-01 22:43:59)&lt;/small&gt;<br /> <br /> one way to see to check also is undo your oil cap on the valve cover and see if smoke comes out of there during idle.<br /> <br /> ----<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;tcfs:&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;small&gt;(2024-04-08 00:16:15)&lt;/small&gt;<br /> <br /> Definitely need more information from the poster....</div>
