Never noticed it before. Was out for a drive the other day and had a car up my ass so I have it a bootfull and noticed that around 7k the car blew some smoke.

It did it again the other day but only at very high revs.

Then took it out earlier and again gave it a bootfull and I got a whiff of oil at high revs.

So what is it? Rings. Oil stem seals etc.

Maybe its time for a re build and highboost.

Oh its a low boost with a decat so I would expect some smoke

Not really sure on colour as I was engaging the hyperspace pedal and trying to keep eyes on the road. I will do a compression test. What is the correct psI that it should be?

Probably slightly worn bores or it's fuel. Truck on and don't worry about it.
