I would shoot Torrie an email and ask first to see if he see anything on the log u made for BAMA.

[MENTION=10751]EcoSwag1990[/MENTION] [MENTION=15386]JungleG1337[/MENTION] [MENTION=13694]Juben[/MENTION] i had it installed at a muffler shop near by my house and i just noticed they did not used the proper gasket where the turbo connects to the downpipe. i will upload pictures later so you guys can check it out. Also im going to change tuners soon to unleashed tunning with torrie just dont got the money yet lol

Yup take a couple pics and I would take it right back to the shop and tell them what's going on and they should fix it free of charge

[MENTION=10751]EcoSwag1990[/MENTION] yea ima take it in saturday to the muffler shop but if the smoke issue cant be fixed then im going to just put the stock downpipe back on. Because i never had that much issue like im having now. Hey do u think its becuz its a catless down with no catalytic converter its having this problem?

Seems like a lot of oil to be dripping out like that. The stock DP could just mask an issue that already/still exists. But some smoke after installing a catless dp is common. The tsb could fix it.

Did you do a hard pull before the issues started or did you get the overboost condition and smoke just after some normal driving?

 

[ypena02]

Are you sure that's oil? Water coming out of the exhaust when you first turn it on in the morning is normal, it appears black because of the exhaust soot.

[MENTION=10751]EcoSwag1990[/MENTION] this is after normal driving but even when im at a red light there is a lot of smoke coming out and just worried i will get pulled over. If i install the oil catch can myself would that be a fix also? And do you currently have a downpipe?

 

[EcoSwag1990]

The catch can alone didn't solve the smoke issue for people, either need to gut the PCV or get the tsb done. I traded my EB but I had stock DP with the FRPP catback. I never had real smoke issues but I did get good amount of carbon on my tailpipes

[MENTION=10751]EcoSwag1990[/MENTION] yea i had a magnaflow catback and AEM CAI and had no problems like im having right now with an after market downpipe the only issue i have taking it to the dealership is they want me to put everything back to stock but i dont have the stock catback of the car lol

 

[Djmike408]

[MENTION=19784]ypena02[/MENTION] [MENTION=10751]EcoSwag1990[/MENTION] after i installed the tune from bama it got even worse my car was literally breaking dowm on me. i got worried but once retuned it back to the stock tune it was back to normal i hope lol. But my friend works at ford and he will soon do the tsb once i swap the CAI back to stock. Hey i came across this video on youtube do you think this will also fix the issue as last option?

1. Your car is not breaking down on you
2. That's not oil dripping it's condensation and soot.
3. If you haven't had the new pcv installed and updated factory reflash get that done no smoke since. Although I had very little to begin with.
Then go enjoy your car
If you do retune it Id really suggest you go with Lund or tune+ they seem to have a good handle on reliability and power with these cars.

 

[Djmike408]

@apwr yea maybe not breaking down but not responding correctly. I got too many check engine lights and wrenches on the dash board with the bama tune. Once returned to stock was not having any issue but the smokey tailpipes. Now i will get a new tuner but for now im just trying to get the smoke issue done and over with.

[MENTION=11292]PewterCam[/MENTION] hey im getting the tsb done Wednesday but after i get that done which oil catch can do you recommend? Mishimoto?UPR ?
