I have not noticed any smoke coming out of my exhaust. My exhaust is stock. I have an 09 with only 10,000km. How many km's and what kind of oilare you using?

Do you have a stock or aftermarket exhaust? Any mods?

I would bring it by the tuner who tuned your car if you think its not normal.

I sometimes see some white smoke at WOT. I have a AMS catback, works drop in and am currently using the GST v2 93 oct base flash.

I would like some input on this as well if possible...

you have a dp?

alot of mazda3's and 6's had smoke issues with their stock turbo and having full exhaust on the car.

Its just oil in turbo, its not a great thing to have, but its part of moddin.

WHA WHA, your saying that the oil in the turbo burns and comes out the exhaust? I know it does during WOT, a nice little puff of smoke, but you think its made worse or jeopradizes the turbo because of the dp?

that plof of smoke is actually because your running rich when you hit it, thats not oil haha.

Most turbo backs on a tune, especially a cobb tune will ploof black when you punch it, due to the rich tunes. This white smoke is oil, its common, and whiching to the stock tp will get ride of it, or chilling on how agressive the tune is

okay andrew, clearly you arent reading the thread.

i just told you exactly what it is.

You are burning oil and seeing the smoke. You dont have the stock cat, so there is nothing there to hold back the smoke. Put the stock cat back on, and you will be good to go.

yep, that sounds about right. It takes time for it to start.

Its not a big concern. But if you dont like it, putting thr cat back on will solve it.

NP. It will fix it, sort term for sure. If the problem persists afterward then it is a turbine issue for sure.
