Nate,
Nice job on the turbo replacement.
Question, was the old turbo leaking oil internally, so it was making the blue smoke?
The 'new' turbo is another used one, or rebuilt?
I get a puff of what seems like black smoke (could be brown) when I'm hard on the pedal, as when merging on the freeway, right when the engine revs to the highest point before shifting. I'm guessing there's more I don't notice, and so I'm wondering about the injectors too.

A Good Day All In All Posted by: "Nate" vwnate1@yahoo.com vwnate1 Date: Sun Sep 2, 2012 9:06 pm ((PDT)) Even though I'm in a world of hurt right now . I replaced the turbo on my '84 Coupe to - day , along with bunches of small things , 2 rubber air cleaner supports , the intake boot's rubber seals , now it fits really snugly ,first Mercedes I've had that the intake boot fits really 100 % so $ well spent I think . I replaced both engine shocks too and now it doesn't rock as much @ idle as it did before , the rubber buffers on each shock end are pretty tired so I'll order up those next . I sorted out some mis - matched engine hardware as that stuff bugs the heck out of me , turned the IP's rack damper bolt in 2/3 a turn , I hope that also helped the smoother idle . After all this plus , Tom followed me on the freeway a few miles and the blue exhaust smoke is *gone* so now I know to begin addressing the injectors then I'll see about adjusting the ALDA screw as it still smokes brown , that's excess fuel , not a thing I want . If it stops covering the cove with Diesel Smoot , I'll begin working to - wards that paint job it needs so badly . To - morrow , a day off , no works , just a ports Car Rally in Malibu , I will be driving my Metropolitan Nash Fixed Head Sports Coupe . -Nate
