Before everyone beats me down on this thread I did search the forum but couldn't find the answer I was looking for I have a 03 5at 97000 miles
my mutiple problems
1) rpm stall around 3500 the problem only occurs every now and then and only started after I installed my tp
2) the famous cel from tp but my light will stay on for about 300 or more miles then turn off and eventually turn back on and back off without a ecu reset or anything else I have non foulers on my strup headers
3) smoke wot at night not smoke start up or any other time I can only notice the smoke at night during hard acceleration
4) adding 3 or more quarts of oil after 1500 from an oil change

If anyone can help it'll be greatly appreciated

It may be as simple as low brake fluid for the warning lights.

Oil consumption wasn't really an issue before the 05 anniversary/06 rev up motor so it sounds like a seal with the oil leak. just a guess.

i have an 03 z with test pipes and the same problems. Look into installing a catch can. with your test pipes you more than likely sending oil up into the plenum due to your pvc valve not working correctly.

try a catch can

A catch can won't stop your engine from burning oil. You probably have leaking valve seals or piston rings. And you're only noticing the white smoke at night because it's easier to see at night; it's also smoking during the day but you're not noticing it. I'd recommend a leak down test to see if your motor is still healthy.

I already have a catch can this is my 3rd set of tp my first set I heat wrapped and don't remember much oil burning then I'm thinking it has to do with exhaust heat or something I'll look in to the leak down would I be losing comp if my piston rings are bad
