Should a stock turbo be able to clear up stage ones? It blows smoke when I first get in it but clears around 15 psi boost. is this Normal?

Thanks,

That is about what my 96 does. The tip in is where it smokes, both on 80E and 60tow, worse on tow. If you lay into it easy until 5 lbs boost then hit it very little smoke. The 1.0 housing on the turbo actually made the performance better but the smoke worse. I have talked with Jody on this and he can tune this out, just haven't had time to pull chip and have him do it. Maybe an F6 would let me do it by e-mail, hmmmmnnn.
