   hi recently brought a 2001 vtr turbo..knowing there was a few things i had to do to the engine....the turbo kit seems to be from ci tuing, including the 5th injector, mf2 controller and water injection, pace intercoller, oil cooler,. but the previous owen had decided to disconnected the mf2 controller,5th injector and water injection, due to having running problems apparently, and the car is now running on a fuel presure regulator instead.
   
   . The car seems to breath heavy from the oil breather and chucks out alot of oil and what looks like smoke, what could this be?
   
   . I prosume he has done the wrong thing by disconecting the mf2 and 5th injector?
   
   Any help would be appreciated thanks josh

   &What colour's the smoke? Is it actually burning oil, or just looks like it?

    Yeh, that car is a nice car, you got yourself a nice one there!
    
    Wish I could have bought it! Lol, As I kept saying on here when it was for sale, it's a great car and I'd have bought it knowing the Engine was fucked... I mean like you said an Engine change isn't that hard and well worth it anyways!
    
    Well done mate! Get Pictures up
