hi,
here is the problem, when my 1jz is hot and that i just rev it up.... when i release the gaz and stop at idle, gray smoke is coming out from the exhaust during 2-3 seconde. Does not look/smell like oil or prestone. its light gray, smell just like exhaust but more intensive...
the oil is new, didn't resolve the problem. exhaust is straight to a pipe. getting a new downpipe for tomorrow, the one i got is bent a little.
hopping to find a solution fast because the ride is very fun to drive!

This topic has been covered a lot, maybe more than any other topic in the mechanical section. If you do a search for your question you will find many different answers. I would say it is the turbo seals. Very common problem with the Soarer's around that age.

the noise of the turbo looks ok. sometimes it cuts in third gear When i floor it... i will take a look at the spark plugs, maybe the car runs lean..!?!?
