Well I just thought I'd update and report that the exhaust clean seems to have done the trick so far. I went for a short drive today (25km) and while cruising the smoke was non existent as far I could tell. When boosting it would puff out some smoke but that seemed to get less and less each time. It's definitely at a driveable state so I'll get RWC and rego and then put some kms on it and post my findings.

Good to hear.

I had to install a second restrictor into the oil line on a turbo V8 Soarer I set up, it was filling both housings with oil with a .9mm restrictor but only occasionally. I fitted a second 1mm restrictor in the oil feed and the exhaust is clean so far. It is definitely oil pressure related as that engine runs 10 bar also.

Yeah I kept the 1mm restrictors in the turbo feeds but thought about putting another maybe 2mm restrictor in the banjo bolt in the block but I'll see how it goes first. I wish now id just bought a new exhaust a year ago lol.

    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.

    • I think he was only proposing to use the wire, not the sender. Simply because it runs from the right place to the right place. Personally, I wouldn't hack up the factory wiring like that. I'd just lay in the Defi loom.
