2nd new VP44 installed, sounds great, whiteish grey smoke and no boost indicated. No codes.

So I've ordered new air horn gaskets from Geno's, didn't have them when installing the new vp44...  I THINK I hear an air leak... would I get similar smoke if one of my inter-cooler boots was split?

Could of got a steal on a gasket set.

You guys need to check the store more.

 

Even got MAP sensor in stock.

 

Boost leak will not affect smoke. Injectors would be more of a cause. Possibly a crushed key or the key fell out during install of the VP44.

we glued the key in because he lost the first one....  new injectors so that shouldn't be the problem, I mean can you install them wrong and the engine still run? it didn't smoke this much with the bad (new) vp44..... though I did NOT check the placement of the key, just verbalized that the arrow pointed towards the injector pump. The MAP shouldn't have gone bad... just because an injector pump was changed...besides no codes.

oh... just to re-state... I am showing NO boost.....  I will order a new MAP from the online store (yes it is a good price) It has been a few years since I replaced it so no sadness over ordering a new one.....  so if it isn't the MAP... still think its the key?
