    new one, white smoke ?

    just removed intercooler and all air supply stuff. looks like there has been water in the intercooler pipes with traces of dried out dust. and watery brown pipes. INSIDE that looks to have dried there. intercooler was also covered in crap so have cleaned it out too. will report back soon.
