Catch Can?

[koston33]

Smoking every now and then during idle. I have tried pcv fix, upping the idle revs, thicker oiil 5w40. Still I get smoking here and there. I'm trying to avoid having to replace my turbo. Would a catch can be a good option or am I just screwed. Thanks.

What are your mods?

A catch can may not fix your problem, but its a good idea.

Test pipe, down pipe, forge bpv, plugs, cai intake, and stage 2 tune. Maybe I'll take it into the dealer and see if it really is the turbo. And perhaps I can sneak some warranty work out of them.

+1
the catch can will do not a thing for a smoking turbo, except keep some off the leaked oil from carbonizing onto your valves

Get rid of the downpipe

Banjo bolt will fix the smoking turbo problem.

I may be asking a dumb question, but how do you have a test pipe & a down pipe?

^ Most modded MS3 have a two piece combo with separate downpipe and race pipe. That's the way my TurboXS catless setup is. Separate pieces with each piece having its own flex joint. I think Cobb may have a one piece product. Most of the others are two piece setups.
