After I replaced my turbo, mine smoked for a little bit. It was mostly residual oil left in the exhaust and intake. It stopped after a few weeks. FYI: Synthetic oil smells god awful when it burns.

Yea, I was lucky the PP piece didn't shred at a different angle, would've taken a chuck of metal to the thigh or leg if it did

I assume aftermarket. It still drives, I'm not doing it though. It still shifts fine, just ticks and vibrates like crazy. Something is obviously very unbalanced inside the bell. Thinking just replace the clutch and pp, do the rear main while I'm at it then just jb weld or high temp putty the...

Well.....I was wrong. Hole is in the bell housing, not far from the bottom of the driver side inspection , black plate right? So I would assume I either broke a piece of the clutch or pressure plate. Fml lol

I'll take a few when i get home if its not raining

In central PA I can't find any in boneyards :/

I would assume so

But the hole is in the transmission, not the bell housing, thats what scares me

While sitting in neutral, no clutch applied or anything, ticking still occurs. This is a heartbreak considering I love this car, but its slowly killing me

Also, its an 87 turbo with a r154 5 speed

Well I'm back again with another dumb adventure in the money pit: While diving tonight, winding it out like I do sometimes, I experienced something terrible. I was shifting hard from 3rd to 4th, bov vented heard a loud bang then vibration and ticking started. Guy behind me said sparks flew...

Update! Afm seems to be working properly now as I no longer have a cel, however I still have a low rpm missfire and odd lumpy idle when warm, could bad gaskets and oil soaked plugs do this?? Boost seems to come in two stages as well, didn't seem to pull as hard either

I'm half tempted to just save up and eliminate it. Any semi-simple fool proof ways of eliminating the afm? HKS gcc and VPC? Maftpro with MAP? MAP ECU? I'm honestly hitting walls with this thing everytime I even touch it.

If it gets improper flow, it can throw the code 31 too can't it? Oiled filters also can cause it I heard.

I did have to switch to a much shorter air filter due to a new hard intake pipe before the turbo..... could the shorter air filter (Advance auto spectre cheapy) be causing the issue? Should I just fab up a CAI or run it without the filter to see what happens?
