Question for you turbo Gurus out there....
Been running .9 bar (occasionally) on a stock turbo, and I believe stock internals (although I have no idea) on an RB20 DET.
Sometimes she does that pleasant pop, bang, flamey thing out the tailpipe on gear change, or on the rundown. (on stock boost, but mostly on .9 bar).
Now, today I was out down a few quiet roads being followed by a mate, and he said she was a bit smokey. Now, he hasn't got a clue about cars, and I daren't let him drive it so I can see for myself so my question is thus...
Along with the pops and flaming yadda yadda, is there likely to be anything like smoke coming out (ie unburnt fuel) occasionally when running hard?
Engine is running sweet as ever so I don't suspect and problems, but I am a bit concerned.
Never run over 1.0 bar (and that was once by accident).
Help! (again!!!)
