Red face Possible engine damage

Hi,

i've had a new clutch and flywheel fitted and have spent the last few weeks running it in.

i decided to do a couple of launches last night... wish i hadn't now,

i think i've caused some engine damage,

the car was running fine afterwards, i let it cool down but and hour or so later when i started it there was a cough of oil smelling smoke.

it cleared and drives fine, no smoke on or off boost, just when i stop it and leave it for a while.

i drove it into work this morning and held it on boost for a while just to try and clear the inlet system out incase it had pushed abit more oil than normal into the inlet under 1/4 mile conditions.

but its still smoking on start up.

what would you do next?

Default

Possible turbo allowing oil into the intercooler & then when you start up it pulls the oil through & blue smokes. Rings can also cause this though, but I'd look at the turbo first
