When my car initially starts a huge cloud of smoke comes out the tailpipe. I have had it tuned and it when the carb was set to a normal idle around 700-800 there would be smoke still coming out the tail. If I bump up the idle speed to around 1100 there is no smoke. Also when I get on it in 1st a huge cloud comes out. I have a 1380 turbo w/ just over 2,000 miles. The motor was fully assembled at Avonbar. Any idea what would cause this. It wouldn't bother me too much if it wasn't a daily driver for me. Any input is much appreciated.

sounds turbo or valve stem related, more likely turbo to be honest

the engine is new so it could be a case of simpley bedding the motor in

but i doubt it...

the second cause could be the turbo but .... did you know the history of this????

if the turbo checks out ok

my bet is a overly rich IDLE mixture

If it puffs on startup it's GUARANTEED the valve guides/valves...
Does it smoke on overrun as well?
