Oh yeah - through a comedy of my own errors I ended up losing a bunch of oil from the MFI pump on one of my test drives. It leaked onto the left side exhaust and started to smoke like crazy - simultaneously (but unrelated) the #5 plug wire fell off, so I was pretty sure something had gone horribly wrong. Thankfully just business as usual.

I cleaned up the mess as best I could and hosed down the engine compartment with a few full cans of brake cleaner. All good until I went out for another tuning run and got the exhaust hot again - I guess a bunch of oil found its way into the heat exchanger and blue smoke started to come out the defrost vents!!!

Pretty sure my tuning experience looks like a Cheech and Chong movie, so far.
