its an aussie one :D
havnt checked spark plugs but they are less than 10K km old and were just right a couple months ago.
no check engine light and car drives just fine and idles smoother than normal with clouds of smoke at idle. the smoke cloud only starts after 20 or so seconds idling and then soon you can no longer see the car behind:)
its not burning oil. turbo seals are a bit dodgy but have always been so.
i'm going to check out the fpr and plugs tomorrow.
it only started smoking at the same time i put in the octane booster. also even after 2 refills the fuel tank smells like the octane booster which is amazingly poisonous so i'm still holding out that theres enough of this octane booster left in there to be stuffing things up. The smoke smells equally poisonous
