Yea I'm pretty sure it's the tune just put in the semi stock tune and it barely hazes where it normally white smokes bad I am taking some logs of it now
LMM Tune help
- Thread starter whitegmc06
- Start date
0015 is the one that is basically normal cruising speed and it is where it white smokes the most around 1500rpm
Ok lol and Yea I did a little bit but I haven't completely figured it out. And ok I will try that
With multipliers and add ons your final timing number will not be exactly what you have mapped in your base timing. Start with the stock map and make small adjustments and see what happens.
The timing calculator will give you the numbers to strive for based on what percentage you want to inject before TDC.
Research a little bit on what optimal timing should be. Lots of great threads on here and the EFI Live Forum. For example at lower RPMs you want timing to be a little bit retarded to help spool the turbo.

Ok thank you
Start with 50/50. Then as you get more experience, you can retard timing where needed to help spool and increase timing where needed to clean up smoke and increase power. But unless you know what's safe and what's not, stick with 50/50
Also note, EGR effectively slows down (and/or cools) combustion. So anywhere the stock tables called for EGR, timing may need to be reconsidered.
I say this...ready to be corrected as a learning experience.

Ok thank you guys
So just and update thank you guys for talking me through some things and give me advice I still have to work on the tunning, but I did find out my real problem and it is the turbo, I took the turbo out and checked everything and there is some oil coming from the exhaust side and it appears the oil seal is fine it is just not going in far enough to seal like maybe the new turbo shaft is to long or something, I have used three of these kits with no issues and now I had an issue so I'm going to contact them and see what's wrong and or different. Thank you again and I will keep everyone updated?
Ok so it has been awhile but I don't want to leave anyone hanging, still working on the lmm and I got a new turbo kit and it is still a 9 blade, but it does not leak oil past the seal now. What I was told... The 9 blade wheels are prone to the vantirie effect and that is what I had going on that's why it would only do it when it comes up on boost and that is why I thought it was my tune that I still clearly need to work on also. Like I said I didn't what it to just be left a mystery and take the time to explain what I had going on. Thank you guys again? now for tuning?
Thanks for the follow up! I've been considering doing a 9 blade and turbo rebuild. Like it otherwise the problems?
Yea I like it I've put them in a lly lbz lmm and lml and this was the first time I had any issues, I'm thinking it got mixed up and didn't get balanced that's why it was having issues. I noticed that one now didn't have balance marks on it, so in other words just make sure it a balance assembly before installation lol
Good info!
