i just got my ecu tuned from enthpy for 550 injectors and z32 maf.....its running a little bit better but is still smokey and the motor shakes a little bit....when accelerating its rough until the turbo spools up then t seems to be ok....and there is oil comming out of the little filter i put on the valve cover breather? any lep is good.....could it be a vacuum line or somethn?

Whats your vacuum reading at idle? Was it doing this before the tune, without those mods?

i think he means 10 inches away from his turbo cause the maf is getting too hot or sumtin. are you sure you dont have a boost leak?? are you sure the maf is not goin out on ya?? and at idle, you should be around 20vacuum. and are you sure that ur turbo aint bad?? check it just in case and tell us what you have come up with.

ok i moved the maf about 8 in away from the turbo and started it up and it is running alot better and it seems to just slowly get a little bit worse......i sprayed all the lines for boost and vacuum leaks and the motor never acted up.....when the car starts its fine and the exhaust gets slowly smoky and i cant figure out why?....im going to try new plugs and mess with the timing a little bit......

is there ne oil residue in the exhaust?? if so it might just be your valve guides, wich would not be good. but first try and lean it out a lil on ur safc. what are ur settings at right now??
