MY02 ap1 has 70k miles and the following mods.
-Aem v2
-invdia tp
-invdia n1 daul

I installed the tp and some time later i went to a 500 mile trip to go camping and once back down i noticed that some white smoke or blue smoke would come out my exhaust when stopped at a light or just left to idle. It probably happened before the trip and never noticed. It smells very test pipey... I dont really know how to describe it. Its smells like lawn mower exhaust.

It happens like once the car is fully warmed up and just idling for about 10 mins. Or stopped at a light. It doesnt happen all the time but it happens about a couple times a week i think. Those are the ones i notice.

Is something wrong with my car or is it normal?

-ps its VERY faint. like i see it for about 1-2 secs.

white smoke = coolant in the combustion chamber
blue smoke = oil being burned

Could be a blown head gasket

yea looks like coolant or oil is being burnt. Or could be both (hope not). I'd get it checked out.

my coolent level never goes down tho... :/
and i've stopped burning oil. its just a decent amount of oil burned. about 1 quart every 1500 miles or so.

well you said it happens when it's already warmed up, usually it's ok if it were in the process of warming up where it's burning off moisture but it's like T-S.M.A.C said, it could be a blown head gasket. Time for a compression check and leak down test

did a comp test and numbers were 210 all 4 cylinders. havent done a leak down but my engine seems healthy and runs like a champ.

anyone else with a test pipe notice this?
