my p5 has me wanting to put a drill to my head and just let it rip lol never imagined such a horrible experience. These 3 weeks trying to get my exhaust to work takes away from 2 years worth of anything good that came from the p5.
LOL, the smokescreen I left behind me today took away +8 months of turbo happiness. I'm really beginning to get sick of this. I never figured the stock MSP setup would result in so many problems...

dude I swear, once I finally get this exhaust working (it's just been a huge test of patience and perseverance) I better get so much p00n as soon as the car turns on and starts running. It better rain hoes as soon as that key turns. Otherwise, not worth it.... lol

I always thought your car would be really stable with a relatively moderate turbo setup (one that should have come stock on the car (shrug) ) and seemed really clean and reliable. Guess not. Maybe due to lack of engine management?
I'm just beginning to think I bought a bogus turbo - I don't really know what the person before me did to it. From what I can tell, I've been burning oil for a while now and just recently whatever was wrong got significantly worse. Nothing is leaking - just lots of blue/black smoke under boost...

You're still getting boost though, which I am guessing still seems normal? Seems like it's just not burning the fuel all the way then? like aka extremely rich?
The AFR's seem normal - nothing overly rich. I can still get into boost, but I get so much smoke coming out the back it makes me wonder how much oil I'm burning. It also doesn't smell like unburnt gas at all. I mean, my oil has to be going somewhere and if it's not leaking onto the ground... I'm going to make some calls around tomorrow and see if I can get a better idea of what's going on.
That's harder on your paint than you think. It's worse than acid rain, especially if they're dirty hoes.

Since I put in my new turbo last week I haven't used a drop of oil. I've been going through about 1/2 quart every 1000miles.
Did you test with a tsp of oil in there too to check rings? I just did mine and they were like 195 and 210 with oil in the cylinder.

I took it to a shop to have the compression test done. I don't have the tool myself and none of the auto parts stores had one to rent.
