you guys rock. i see the tmap sensor in the burger intake and the map(?) sensor on the intake manifold and another on the charge pipe. the charge pipe sensor is brand new but the intake manifold sensor is not - do those need to be the same exact sensors? i would imagine they operate similarly but there has to be subtle differences between the two. if i can get this heat shield back on ill try testing the tmap and see how it does.
in terms of a boost leak, what exactly does that mean? am i looking at replacing critical and most likely expensive parts? i enjoy working on it but am still learning things as i go. i probably spend more time reading forums and watching youtube to make sure im doing things right than i do actually working on the car. i have the bentley publishers e90 repair manual but that only goes so far or im just not looking in the right chapters.
the car burns a little oil and smokes when cruising on the highway. it seems that it does well until i reach the peak of a hill and the engine can relax a bit - that's when it bogs down slightly and dumps thick white smoke. it usually clears in a few seconds and goes right back to normal. i dont have a vacuum leak test kit so ill have to get it over to the shop for that part.
thanks again to everyone for taking a few moment. i have lots more research to do
