hey guys i finally got my car running after 6 months. When driving my car around the block theres smoke coming from the turbo area. anyone now what this could be? Also I am able to pull codes using my blazt program. None of the gauges will work tho on the program. does anyone know what wires are to be hooked up for this to work? thanks

I dont have any experience with the blazt program, but smoke from your turbo area after a new swap is typical. All of the oils and grease from your hands and everything else burn off when the manifold and turbo get hot. I once painted the turbo heat shield with "high temp engine paint" and that stuff started to smoke and boil, so I took it off before it started on fire or something. How much smoke are we talking? Like the amount that comes out of a toy train or a real train?

I would recommend not getting on it for the first 500 miles or so just to let seals and everything else get readjusted and oiled. See if it goes away after a while. Keep us posted if things head south though.
