Smoke at idle

[sleeper329]

So ever since i put in my test pipe ive noticed ill get black smoke sometimes if i let the car idle for a few minutes. It performs fine and ive done a little reading and am guessing this is the PCV valve leaking causing the smoke..?

If so will this help:
PT-Performance.com

Then lastly if that might be the fix for it, is there any how to for its install? And having been driving the car with this smoking have a possibly done any permanent damage to the motor, turbo, etc?

mine did not smoke when i only had a test pipe but it did when i installed a downpipe. the ptp "pill" should work (i had it before).

Or it could be the turbo seals. The pill did not work for my car but for the price worth a shot. You may also want to contact Brad (Bnoon) and ask him about him banjo bolt replacement for the k04. Some frown on this but it has worked for people.

Cool, I'll probably order this over the weekend then.

Does it come with install instructions? b/c i dont even know where it goes. lol

man, look around here and at 2-4-7 and you should be able to figure it out, it goes in the big vac line from the intake to the valve cover, at the valve cover end.

Ok i know what youre talking about then. Real easy.

I tried every smoking fix that exists and none of them worked. Big turbo is the fix my friend.

Isn't black smoke okay? It's just the car running rich? I thought it's the white/blue smoke that's bad since that's the color of oil burning..

5w40 full synthetic oil will help band aid the situation...that's what Mazda recommends in the mean time.
