just started after turbo swap... loud backfires, smoke...
I just installed a fmic, hks cast manifold, hks wastegate, 4in intake, 4in downpipe no cat, T-70bb 62-1 bb turbo...
the car has been under the knife since june and it was my first time to start it...
it started easily and immidatly reved to about three then popped and smoked a little.... no loss of compression or anything but it scared the **** out of me.... normal? because it never smoked like that... or backfired like that before. How ever before i was running a full 3in ex. with a high flow cat and muffler.
So i just want to make sure its ok...

yeah the wheels are on not by choice... ill be getting new ones when i can afford them...
i pulled the plugs and some are fouled. But i still have concerns about blowing a seal... i just had it rebuilt this time last year and maybe only drove it 1500 miles...
