--I have a 2006 amtran with a vt365 bus is smoking seems to be Grey and low power , I checked the oil was overfilled by 4 quarts so drained to proper level
--still smokes low power suspecting turbo ? though no abnormal noise and **at one point** boost did reach 22psi , though could just be passing oil but don't see any heavy oil spotting on down pipe
--is throwing 2 dtcs --power reduced to match cooling system performance (though I checked was not overheating and fan working also pressure tested cooling system was fine )
the other dtc is EBP to high
--the engine seems to run smooth no miss at all , some oil in turbo but it seems on these there is always some oil in there
Let me know what ya think Thanks
