    Hahaha, yeah, I thought it was here too, til it started hailing here yesterday.....

    So anyone have thoughts on the smoke from the exhaust?

    Don't really have enough information. Does it just smoke at idle? Have you driven it around? Might want to pull the spark plugs and check if some are darker than others. If you haven’t driven it much you might just need to run it a bit after it sitting all winter.

    Seriously more info.

    Knowing when the car smokes can help you know why. If it smokes more at idle it can be VSS. If it smokes after boosting it can be turbo seals. If it smokes all the time, rings, ect. or maybe your tune has drifted.

    Hahaha, sorry. It smokes all the time. Seeing as the motor has less than 55k on it, and I did the 60k at 53k miles, I doubt it's the VSS. However I do find it odd that with this smoke, my coolant and oil levels haven't changed at all. I kind of think my tune shifted. I'm wondering if the Walbro is overwhelming my FPR??

    Yeah, it sort of sounds like the tune. It doesn't take much oil at all to make it smoke though.

    You said you have noticed a difference in mileage? Do you have a wideband?
