Turbo Smoking - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Was at Drift Nirvana this weekend and my turbo was smoking more then usual. Originally I thought this was a possible seal issue because it only smokes (blue) when I'm idling. Once I'm on throttles it goes away.

But when I was waiting for my turn to run I noticed the turbo only smokes at idle, and while on inclines. The steeper the incline the worse the smoke. Does this indicate a different issue beyond seals that I should be looking at? Or am I just thinking too much.

Thanks :P
