If the car idles for a long time with no load, then I drive away it smokes like a forrest fire. After about 20 seconds of driving the smoke clears and will never return unless I sit idle for 5+ mins again. Seems like the turbo is leaking as it only happens with no load. Or maybe the PCV but I'm thinking turbo, it hasn't lived the easiest life. When the cars under load, no signs of smoke and I can redline up through 5th 140mph .49 knock, 0 ltft everythings great. I added a little oil last oci but the oil level hasn't dropped a bit since I changed it 2 weeks and 700 miles ago. Side note it's definitely not coolant and and coolant hasn't dropped any in 24 months and I check with a milimeter ruler.
I rarely notice this problem as I always take off less than a minute after starting the car and don't hit big traffic lights often so the car is usually under load. Time to upgrade turbo?
