lol. were still not 100% sure were in. Car isn't tip top (still smoking) and the wedding hit our wallets hard. But we'll see how the next few weeks play out.

Smoke didn't stop you last year 
I'll watch your oil if you watch my control arm bolts. For real though, I hope you guys can swing it, we'll be pretty bummed if it's just us on the trip down.

So my smoking symptoms are smoke only* after long engine braking, and then stomping the gas. If I shift into neutral or don't engine brake it doesn't seem to smoke.
Could this be stuck oil control rings? Trying to decide if I should do some acetone+atf cleaning to try and unstick them.
*As far as I can tell in the mirror.

I had the same symptoms with a bone stock 1.6 too, it was higher mileage as well. You might ask Craig if he was experiencing the same symptoms, although I don't remember it happening on the dyno. He did ask me to up the boost until it stops making power or stops rotating. Luckily it stopped making power first.

He said he didn't remember it happening. But Martin said he thought he remembered it doing it on the dyno, so I'm not sure.
I was going to find out how it did on track but the diff blew before I could get anything in.
I'd really like to make the next BMW club event, but I'm pretty swamped at work right now.
