I have just had a new exhaust system fitted to the car,i.e. front down pipe, centre section and backbox. Problem is that I have noticed some white smoke only when it has been idling for at least 4 or 5 minutes. Is this because there is no cats and condensation is building up or is there a serious problem. Other mods to the car is a cone filter induction kit, Macs Power chip with boost limiter, currently running at 1.25/1.3 bar of boost. Anyone any ideas.

Thanks

I too have been having this problem since I had a DP and mid pipe put on.

I was told by my dealer that it was oil/condensation and not to be too concerned. However don't take my word for it get you local dealer to check it out for you

Bttt. Thanks WillieF, has it ever hindered your performance by the way?

Anyone else have this problem

No problems but I am beginging to question how much extra power it is adding to the PPP I have had fitted recently.

Alan,
If the exhaust has just been fitted it's possibly a very small amount of oil burning off the outside of the system and this will go away in a short space of time. Everytime I'd built a new engine and started her for the first time there would be copious amounts of white smoke from the exhaust system from where I'd put my 'mucky mitts' on the exhuast,the block, the cylinder head etc.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
John

I'll keep my fingers crossed.

I would be more concerned about running that level of boost which is simply to high.
