So I did a compression test I'm at 175 across the board. So of course the car was smoking like crazy when we shut it off I'm going to assume that a lot of smoke coming out of spark plug number 3 would not indicate anything or would it? So I left the compression tester on cylinder number 3 for about 30 minutes and it held 170 the whole time. I am going to order a leak down test on Amazon so I will do that as well on Wednesday. When you start the car it starts smoking in about 30 seconds that really makes me think turbocharger. The turbocharger is the only thing not new in the mix it was just sitting on the shelf , had never been on a car. Could this be a bad valve stem seal?
