I have about 130 miles on my car since getting it back with the rebuilt hybrid two weeks ago.We cleaned it out some but it smoked a lot as first.Now from time to time it will smoke a little at start up. This sound O.K ? I am a little anxious because I had to send it back to get re- rebuilt after 7 miles the first time.Rocky

White or blue smoke? Smoking at startup is not usually a turbo symptom. I'd keep an eye on things, drive normally, turn up the boost if you want but if it starts smoking then back off.

Thanks Matt.Blue from time to time. But since I only have about 140 miles on it I was wondering if it is still just some of the three quarts I lost when the shaft broke. Compression check was 150 all 4 dry, 160-170 wet before I picked it up.Thanks
