Hi all,

I recently had my DPF replaced with an Ecotune downpipe and tune, fitted by my local indy. I wasn't getting any errors, but the car was sluggish and sounded horrible after warming up so I reasoned it was the DPF.

I was right. The car is a million times better and that awful trucky sound is gone. However, I now have white/grey smoke from the exhaust at all times, even idle. It's not thick, quite hard to see in fact, but the smell is terrible. I'm of the impression that it's unburnt fuel as it smells like a truck, but I'm not 100% sure.

It was suggested that I might have a poor spray pattern, so I've ordered some Millers to hopefully clear out the injectors for a better burn. Prior to removing the DPF, I had an intake clean done, which reportedly kicked out PLENTY of gunk, but perhaps didn't get right into the injectors.

Any thoughts? Loving the performance gains, but if I'm slowly killing myself and everyone around me, it's probably not worth it...
