Re: Hi everyone :)

I think the Nissan was a 350z after googling the pics.

The turbo on my Rev 3 is a CT26 with a steel shaft, no idea why it's not a CT20b

The supra wheels are definitely 17s 9.5 and 8inch

Getting a quote for colour coding in the morning :D

Re: Hi everyone :)

That's the look I'm going for :) Without steel wheels though, colour coded supra 17's Will investigate turbo (or my other half will) and report back. Just had a little race through a tunnel with one of those fancy nissans and pulled away from him quite convincingly, what is the the power in one of t...

Re: Hi everyone :)

Well, the turbo was rebuilt not long ago and just fitted. The engine over heated due to a water pump failure and I had the pump and turbo fitted at the same time, made sense to get a few jobs done together. I'm now worried that when it overheated it damaged something. Only ever smokes when there is ...

I hope it's not the turbo seals, it's just been rebuilt!

It's also started making a funny noise like it's missing when using the engine to slow down, not when accelerating though :-/
Smells more like fuel than oil coming out of the exhaust.

Hi everyone :)

I'm Katie, I have an MR2 GT Turbo
Love my car to bits and can't wait for some proper summer weather so I can take my roof off! :)
I have an embarrassing problem at the minute, (with the car!)
It keeps putting out puffs of smoke at traffic lights or junctions when I'm not moving?
Any ideas guys?
