i pulled it. im not exactly sure if its the turbo thats smoking, but the smoke is coming from that general area, maybe the up pipe? but it was smoking when the engine was turned off too

cinch up the waste gate (just a little at a time) and do something about your intake (I noticed a considerable difference when I got rid of the stock air box for the 6637) and you should be golden, regarding the power aspect.
I think that the smokin turbo is a result of the WD-40 we sprayed on it to get the exhaust clamps off.

ok, now theres no more smoke. 1 more problem to fix. will disabling the wastegate help with the power loss? or will i have to take on the tedious task of playing with the waste gate?
