Hey all...got my first Saab and I'm loving it even on base boost. Such a fun ride. I'm sure ill be on here a lot in the upcoming week...so I hope to not irritate people too quickly. Heh.
Anyway...turbo 5 Speed with redbox...running 93 octane...still has base boost. All vacuum lines recently replaced, but i do notice squirts of oil near the PCV valve and the breather on the intake. Related?
I saw something about a blue wire to check...and about checking the APC...but I'm not exactly sure how...and...maybe I'm searching for the wrong thing...
I get some white smoke from the exhaust at seemingly unscheduled times. Hot...cold...idling....revving. don't seem to be plowing coolant or oil...but ill watch closely. Last issue of some concern is when I get the smoke from the tail....I all get some smoke near the turbo shaft. Yikes. Bad shaft bearing seals?
Thanks in advance...
