Took to a pro tuner and they did compression check, leak down test, checked the valve seals. Everything is good on the motor side. As a last resort they ask what oil I'm running and they say a lot of Subi motors have problems with mobile 1. Fill with motul race oil and no smoke.
Just wondering if anyone else has cone across this problem?
