smoke from exhaust

I have noticed it at all but a friend just said he saw some smoke came out of my tailpipes. I just had a new turbo put on about 700miles ago, maybe more. But I've babied it for the most part, and I just curious what could it be. I've got an intake, an Alta inlet pipe and the Alta turbo muffler delete, but I wouldnt think any of those would cause smoke. Could carbon buildup in the motor do it?

i wouldnt be worried about it unless you are getting a lot of smoke and its constant. i have seen my buddies car's and im sure mine has done it too where when you gun it really hard a little smoke comes out the pipes. it's just carbon. as long as it is not doing it the whole time your driving i wouldnt worry about it.

wouldnt hurt. i have done that on mine and then i did a full pcv delete and i have yet to have any major carbon related issues. I have not done a walnut blasting service as i havent had any problems with the way mine runs but lots poeple have done that with great results. its just expensive.
