help please

Is it possible to have a little bit of light colored smoke come out if you are running pretty lean. I mean just a little bit and only if the car has sat at idle for five minutes or so after first start up. It doesn't do it at all after it has been driven and then sitting at idle, only on the first start up of the day.

I am guessing no answers yet, means no one is sure. I am seriously worried about this and I am in Germany and just going to a local mechanic is not quite an option. So any advice would be lovely.

If its a new turbo it will smoke a bit. If its lean at idle thats fine, as long as you aren't lean in boost.

My afr is right at about13.9:1 to 14.8:1 from idle and all throughout the throttle. The turbo has about 1200 miles on it. What about if I have a heavy oil in say about 15W45 synthetic, could that make me smoke a bit.

In my opinion that AFR is way to lean...I'd let the car sit until you have the injectors and hptuners then try to tune for AFR's more like 11.8:1.
