Alright. this is pretty good because i didnt really want to sell it i just cant put the money into it right now. I will get the compression test done and try to get it to run a little less rich and probably keep it.

Then i'll buy the wideband and tune it with the safc and fix the boost and ****. thanks guys.

hahaha.. ok so here is a story for ya. my first car i riced out lol. I was just starting to get into cars and i put a Buddy Club Aftermarket muffler on it. I liked the sound so much i would rev my motor ALOT.. best part it was an automatic. lol, so at the same time i ****ed up my motor hard core and blew my tranny out. And after that when i would start the car, it would literally shoot little sprits of oil, gas, and coolantout of the muffler. Showed that chevy Malibu what's up.. HAHA

Dude, I have a full 3 inch Apexi N1 exhaust system with a high flow cat on my '99 GS-T and mine has a hint of "whitesmoke" as you call it...Evencarbon build up on the end of the muffler too that may look like oil...The fumes make my eyes water when I fire it up in the garage as well...I know mine is running rich plus I haven't had it tunedyeteither. Mine runs good and I don't worry about it.

yeah that's how mine is with a 3 inch TBE, and i love it, especially since it's not too loud, which is surprising. and yeah mine runs rich as a bastard, i get 166miles per tank,haha which is why i rarely drive the thing

i finally did a compression test on my car. The psi is supposed to be like 178 and mine is 150. I changed the plugs and ran it pretty hard and found a small miss in my turbo. So now i have new plugs, low compression, still a lot of smoke and a small miss in the turbo.

Any ideas on what it could be?
