One 1/4 Mile Launch 2 Many, Trouble Codes Cyl 2 Misfire, Intake Camshhaft Pos.

That's good news assuming that is what they should be at. On to the turbo/s I would say. One idea I have is to check the air moving through pipe from the IC to the TB. If its smoking out both tail pipes then either there are bad rings on both banks "unlikely due to compression test", 2 bad turbos "unlikely" or one bad turbo that is pumping smoke down the cold side through the IC and into the TB and combustion chamber. I'm not even sure that is possible but one way to know is if you can somehow check that air. You can get a $15 endoscope off Amazon. I would be using that to check all the cylinders and I would check the compression on all the cylinders as well.

Good news on compression! Still thinking valve cover gasket/plug well seals as probable culprit.

Hey:

We are thinking VCT (variable cam timing) solenoids stuck closed (and maybe PCV)..

Mechanic had to run, but when we Disconnected both Solenoids It Stopped Blowing about 80%,

Connected Back up Smokes like a Fogger, BUT, more than one Issue...

Still Cyl #2 Code But that plug may be shot as well..

On the way in the AM to see the folks for FathersDay, So Back AT it Next Week....

As long as the solution is simple and doesn't burn a crater in your back pocket

Have fun on Father's Day!

OK:

Picking up where we let off:

Oil Oil Every Where, Oil In CAC, about 1/4" to 3/8",
Oil Coating In CAC inlet to First MAF Sensor & Piping (cleaned It)
Oil Coated HEAVY 2ND MAF Sensor (Cleaned it) on intake manifold, PCV valve?
Oil Came Out Of the Front Turbo outlet hose (heavy) and Some on my Head

A ton of stuff Going On, Not enough time for the Car, But we keep trying...

Those turbos leak oil through the seal with low back pressure from the downpipes/exhaust sometimes. Can't see your mods on Tapatalk, but might have bad turbo seals.
I had about that much oil before I installed my rx occ in my intercooler and pipes though.

Sorry for the long delay, and at this stage of the Game...

We and the "Gearhead Automotive" i finally took it to
Believe that the Front turbo is the Main problem
along with a Few others (yet to be determined)..

A) SO new FORD OEM for the Front Only...?
B) replace them Both....?
C) Upgrade to Better And Or Bigger (Stronger than OEM) would be my First Choice

any input or Suggestions from this Forum and you Folks, thanks in advance, Jim

and if "C" anyone brand Versus the other...?

CroR1 · July 14, 2016, 02:30:43 PM

option C if you have the money

sholxgt · July 14, 2016, 02:48:06 PM

If you plan on keeping the car for awhile, I like this option...

I would just contact Mike first to make sure that your turbo's are acceptable core returns even if one has blown seals. I can't tell from the listing description, but would guess that these are rebuilt units which would make yours fine for the core return.

I would go with option A depending on the current mileage,the oem front turbo is fairly cheap to purchase and also the easiest to change out of the two and the rear turbo is just a pita,might also want to change the upper and lower pipes while your in that area and certainly dont want any leaks down the road and might as well kill two birds with one stone,lol.

Have to agree...$409 does make that option really tempting!

Sorry about not going to the bottom:

8 Months Later, a great new Car lift, 2 ATP turbos (the Right way to Go) AND

Front Turbo is Gone, and i mean it lost a few pieces, Some of which we found in the Oil Filter
rear Turbo is as well, but no Pieces Missing, Both had a ton of play in the rotors, SO 19 PSI and 35K Miles, Yea I know how to break it...SO ATP install is done, Waiting on Oil Cooler Parts, and a
call to the Dyno Guy (i will be yelling just a bit) hoping the next round lasts more than a year...!
