Hello,

I have a iag stage 1 with a jdl turbo. I went for a small drive and saw smoking coming from under the hood. Headed back home and opened the hood to see a smoking turbo. I later noticed the smoking was also coming from my catch can (full blown motorsports). It was a leisure drive without going into boost. My pcv valve is a straight thru fitting and catch can is VTA.

Looks like I have excessive crankcase pressure or a leaky turbo.

I heard that is normal for some VTA catch can systems to smoke but it seemed like alot and smoking was also coming from the turbo
Any ideas or advice?
