ok I still a newbie here but from what I know there are 2 different types of intercoolers.
Air-air
Liquid-air
now I read somewhere (a spec sheet from a test review) that the eco diesel is a air-air intercooler. so that being said the only lines going to the intercooler should be the tubing to cool the air. so the turbo pushes air (that is hot from going through the turbo) through the intercooler before entering the engine. if one of these tubes were damaged the engine wouldn't be getting the right air mix and wouldn't be burning as efficiently which could explain the smoke.
but I dunno how this would effect the turbo as the turbo is before the intercooler.
but like I said I am a newbie and learning as I go also so someone with a lot more knowledge out there may be able to help me figure this out as well.
my ecodiesel is 2 months old with almost 7000km on it. No problems as of yet (fingers crossed)
