(My puny two cents) Gray Smoke Caused by uncombusted fuel: Could be plugs,timing, clogged air filter, air/fuel mixture, wires, coil, etc. Start with the cheapest answer and work your way up. 98,6Bolt,3"EXH,LINKV3,780cc,SD,SCM61@26PSI, 340LPH,AFPR,TSBOV,REARWB,FMIC,2"RAD(20/80/WW)

The ECU thinks it's got more air then it does (think large intake leak) and it's dumping in too much fuel. Check for intake leaks.

I wouldn't think you'd be running so rich that you'd be spitting fuel out the exhaust, but anything is possible I suppose (I have a vented BOV and I don't run anywhere near that rich). You should still check for intake leaks.

The local mechanic told him he was burning oil(white smoke) and running rich (blk smoke) These mixed together made the greyish color. He Also had the stock BOV venting to atmosphere which made a huge intake leak. Put a 1 way check valve on it and the problem was fixed...kinda. Now he just had white smoke from blow by. Not much though. ~B@@st187~ 93 TSI AWD 13.90 at 98.8 1.62 60'
