So see how it looks when the temps get a bit higher, perhaps it’s not as smoky as you think. I didn’t see you already have an OCC, so yea OFHG is probably a good place to look next if problems persist. FWIW the RB PCV is cheap and takes little time to install, maybe you’d want to check into that before going the more involved route. The CV systems on the N54 blow by way more oil than they should, so that could be your problem. I’m still a bit confused as to how that is smoking through the primary cat though, generally speaking you really need to be burning hard or running very rich for smoke to come out of a catted car.

My thoughts exactly...I've thought about maybe I'm just running really rich too, but I dunno
. Can't seem to find the upgraded PCV on the RB website either. I might as well go ahead and buy that. Might not do anything, but anything is better than stock on this car lol
