what I'd do is run some injector cleaner through like Forte a couple of tanks before your MOT is due and take it for a good blast BEFORE the MOT - will smoke a lot less when up to temperature  :wink:

Mine passed with the remap last year though but this year i've got the decat so not sure lol

not really though my CAT was fooked lol and i've only got the decat; Steve has the full system

seems to smoke a lot less now I've fitted a nice clean intercooler  :undecided:  Going to look at fitting a catch tank to avoid the oil returning

I have found this. Mine hardly smokes like it did before I cleaned out my IC.

I'm just going to do my oil catch tank this week I think.
