Hello, I have a 2012 Audi a3 that I purchased with what appeared to be a clogged dpf. Since this is going to be used for off road use only, i removed the dpf and egr. I haven’t hooked up the down pipe yet or performed the tune but I just wanted to make sure this is normal before putting everything back together.
on startup there is a large puff of smoke and then if I rev the engine I get much more smoke. It doesn’t smell like diesel but also not really like oil either. I did a compression test before ordering any parts so I know there isn’t a head gasket leak.
If this is a turbo issue, I can “easily” resolve that by upgrading to the cr170 (wife won’t be happy but she’ll get over it).
