[QUOTE="mn_sclb, post: 1207143, member: 19926"] While I'm on problems, if I use high idle on the chip it kinda skips a bit. Sometimes it'll fix itself, other times I have to change the tune then go back to it . Imagine if you revved the engine to 1100 then you pulsed the pedal just enough to trip the IVS. Making the idle surge while not letting it go any lower than 1100 but no higher than 1250-1300 . I mentioned the smoke, it's white, Burns your eyes, and smells the same as a friends lly duramax just a bit more fuelly. Also blowby.. It's nonexistent at startup, like none at all. But gets worse as it warms up, it'll never blow the cap off so I'm not overly concerned. I just would assume since metal contracts, a cold sloppy engine should blow by more than a warm tighter block. Right after it stalled in that video I inspected it, and the compressor is surrounded by oil from the ccv. I just don't know what I'd do with the hole in the intake where it was. I'm still kinda weary of this beast just because it sat for so long, so I start it at least 1 time per day to see how it behaves. I also never go out there without my phone for moments like this.
