Default SKOKE FROM EXHAUST

Hi Guys,
Cornish Newbee here again,
I have been driving my API rebuilt engine for 2700 miles all run in as described by david and works fine, until now, if i drive off boost and sensible its all proper, if i give it some wellie and have a good drive, when i park up i get an oiley smelling smoke from her rear but only for a minute or so, then the smell and smoke dissapears, when i had the new engine fitted i bought a new turbo (TD05H) with adjustable actuator, could the seals be knackered already ? or could it be something else ?
Please Help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You got the wrong end of the stick mate.

No-one was implying/saying API are lacklustre/incompetent, etc. (that couldn't be further from the truth, in fact!).

Just that Dave will be the best person to talk to re the issue, as he will have obviously had intimate knowledge of your car when he originally did all the work on it, etc. That, coupled with his vast, Guru-like knowledge of Imprezas in general, should help you troubleshoot the issue efficiently and in quick time, etc...
