Spirit R/T smoking under deceleration
1991 Spirit R/T. Stock turbo and engine. Doesn't smoke upon start up or while idling. Tried to pin point when smoking and seems to be doing it after accelerating and then backing off. Doesn't seem to be smoking while just cruising at a steady speed. Haven't checked plugs yet.
Re: Spirit R/T smoking under deceleration
So bad under boost? and high vacuum?
Turbo bearing leaking?

Re: Spirit R/T smoking under deceleration
When you say after accelerating, is this after going into boost?

Re: Spirit R/T smoking under deceleration
Turbine shaft seal is leaking.
Re: Spirit R/T smoking under deceleration
I will second that, sounds like turbo seals. Time for a rebuild

not a problem,,,good luck
Re: Spirit R/T smoking under deceleration
smokes at start up and when decelerating is classic bad valve stem seals
smokes out the entire intersection stopping traffic from all directions after you drive away is either a lifted head gasket or a bad turbo
