my turbo is smoking
i have dezod s1 installed on my automatic. It randomly started smoking around the turbo itsself. It smells like burning rubber. Thought maybe my turbo bag was burning so i took it off but the smoke and smell is still there. Its just a light smoke, not like a fire or anything. Just something burning. Any ideas?

i also have the dezod kit and mine also started smoking about two weeks ago around the turbo. i found out one of the bolts were not tight and was leaking oil just a lititle bit which was causing it to smoke.

its just a greyish color. and only from the turbo area. im gonna pick up some wrenches and see if every thing is tight. the turbo works good. i havent had a chance to upgrade it to much yet, but its still fun. expensive but fun!

not really, but I kind of follow you. I was just asking cuz after I was done with the clutch install, I decided to spray the Throttle body with some TB cleaner to keep it in good shape. Next day I went for a test drive (15 miles) and I looked like I was driving a damn smoker lol I was so confused at what it could be, spilled tranny oil, turbo seals or TB cleaner. When I got home it was noticeably less from the exhaust, but when I popped the hood it was coming out from around the turbo blanket. It was white btw, oil right?
I decided to take the blanket and downpipe off to take a peek and the exhaust housing was clean. Turbo had some up and down shaft play, but no side to side. I realized later on that it could also be coming from the open dump tube. The wastegate shouldn't be open at idle right? Just double checking.
