The smoke could come from a few places. People like to say it's turbo but without seeing the car they are 100% guessing.
If you really want to know, you'll have to take it to your local reputable mechanic. There was a guy earlier with a N55 that was having a smoke issue too. ... and upon a search that was you I was talking with. LOL I still just don't think it's a turbo problem at all. You aren't running much boost, not even close to enough to overwork it. And I can't find that you road race or do any endurance racing that would cause overheating. Seems to me you just do the same as most, a few highway blasts and fun drives. Basic normal stuff. I really do think it's within the PCV system, which for you is not serviceable. It requires a replacement valve cover (or used in good working order). But it's a costly chance, then again so is a turbo replacement. Someone local and qualified really should be who you talk with. They may have a way to test or some other insight that will be helpful. I really don't want you to just throw parts at the car in hopes it'll fix it. I want good diagnosis and first time repair. I can't do that over the internet and I really don't feel anyone can. |

That 3,000 RPM range is the giveaway IMO. It's right on the verge between boost and vacuum in the intake manifold. It's a transitional point for the PCV system.
If you do a datalog trying to get it to smoke you should see boost below 1psi but above -1psi when it acts up. Unfortunately though my theory isn't a 100% certainty that it's the valve cover. If it where my car I'd feel safe that I'm correct. And if I where wrong it'd only be my fault and money I wasted all $450 of it. |
