Wait until you step on the brakes hard a few times and your entire car is covered in black dust on the sides and black soot on the rear.

Welcome to turbocharging.

mine did that for a while when i first bought it, it eventually went away

@MS3BPS2286, stock tune runs rich, no biggie. also, your friend with the 2010 2.0T should be easy work for you.

If you want to keep the soot off your bumper I would look into getting a Catback Exhaust with longer Tips or just get longer tips installed. My car generates lanfills worth of soot and none of it touches my bumper ;).

Listen to Dash08, that's normal for our cars. Mine doesn't do it, but it's a normal thing.

Love this place! Welcome to the forum!

What's with all the damn random numbers and characters in some screen names? It looks like someone ate a can of baked beans and a can of alphabet soup, had a massive diarrhea shit, took a picture of the contents in the toilet, then signed up on MSF.

Fuck editing a post three times just to get someone's name right for a mention.

ooh man your lucky today OP. normally you would have goten your ass chewed and told to go to m247.com. lol anyways add fuel pump internals to that list of first mods. also donate research and post noodz of hott GF, wife, or sister(preferably just log on and have her upload them while your back is turned cause it'd be a little creepy looking at noodz of a sister) but we want noodz of hot women in your life so add them to the dirty bastards club section after you donate

Next up: Why is there soot on my front wheels? :popcorn: After that, why is my oil silvery looking after only 3000 miles?

Be prepared for your wheels and exhaust to match. I bought the car with silver wheels and exhaust. 1000 miles later everything is a nice shade of charcoal.

^what he said.

my speed3 soots far less than it did when it was breaking in, but now exhaust tips are constant black and my wheels stay dusty:hitwithrock:
