smoke after hard acceleration
so yeah I just put on a new valve cover, which really went with no complications, but now it smokes after hard acceleration. as in I can go 2nd full boost, 3rd full boost, 4th boost, then u know shift into 5th and let off the throttle and a big plume of smoke suddenly emerges behind me. The strangest thing is there is absolutely no smoke during the actual accelerations while in boost or not. and literally the only thing that changed between me smoking and running perfectly before is the swapped valve cover. WTF?
I sort of used this opportunity to smoke out a couple of Priuses already too! lol

oh it was definitely oil burning, u could smell it very clearly. and I figured it out yesterday, the crankcase vent port got clogged by some grey silicone/rubber shit, (either during powdercoating or from previous owner) so the pressure was pushing the oil past the valve seals.
all good now!
