Well Mines a RB20 and Its blowing smoke Must be Piston Rings as the Turbo is brand New and Tested by Turbo Tech but it only blows it when I let off the gas??

Valve stem seals? Do a leak down test, in 20 minutes that will confirm which it is.

:D cheers :D

my initial thought was as per SK (smoke on lift off), but interestign it has only started doing it since this turbos went on.

does it blow smoke on start up after it has been standing? if so, it is most likely the valve stem seals.

But what you describe sounds more like a turbo related issue. check all your oil fitings as well as breather hoses...

Well when I first started the Car it was blowing blueish smoke but didnt have the smell of oil in it, I left it for a hour and came back and started it up again and the smoke was gone and only happend when I reved the car, So I thought it was the ECU so I took it out for a test run and it got better didnt do it at all, This was on stock boost BTW, So I thought I would test it and wound it up to 1 bar and now it blows it when I rev really hard like Go through two gears, Then when I back off she blows the smoke for 3 secs then clears up then nothing. On small boost doesnt do it at all.

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
