Hi.

I have a 93 240sx with sr20det swap. I am running turbo off of a rb25det. Have greddy intercooler. Greddy profec spec 2 boost controller set a stock boost. Greddy airnx intake and apexi n1 exaust system. Recently my exaust started smoking a bluish white smoke when i start to slow down and come to a stop. Anybody have any sugestions on what it could be or where a good place to start would be?

You may have a blown head gasket or a piston ring failure. Do a compression test and a leakdown test on all cylinders.

smoke on decel (high vacuum situation) is usually valve seals or turbo seals.

if there's oil in the intake, i'd say turbo seals,,if not, valve seals.
