Hey John thanks man! ok just figured out why the smoke. when running the stage 2 i got fuel washed. i thought it was my turbo seals were going but checked my oil first cuzz its possible when the oil thins out it becomes easy to get into the turbo seals so with gas in the mixture it gets even more thin. so i checked oil to find the oil smelling like gas. what i have to do is change my oil before any harm can be done i have emailed cobb to see what my options are. so far they have been very helpful with providing my info and feedback from my what my suspicions were.

At first I thought it was a coolant leak, but I stopped by my shop today and they didn't find any coolant leaks on my car.

i actually had a coolant leak and took it in to bmw to get it fixed prior to installing my dps. i got my dps catless and i removed my secondary cat and resonators. i had my donwpipes in for about 100 miles and then took it off

Not sure if this pic helps but shows passenger side axel removed. Very important that you find a good shop. I Think bmw tech told me its a 6 hr job. According to the book.
