GTM stage 2 burning oil.

Depending on exactly how its all hooked up, and what became disconnected, there could be some serious damage.

Example... if your kit uses internal wastegates (or has external gates plumbed actuator style) and the MAP sensor port on the EVC solenoid is not hooked up (not seeing boost or vacuum readings on the display), than the boost will be unregulated and it will go as high as it can go until the exhaust manifold pressure pushes the actuator doors open. This, of course, would cause serious damage rather quickly.

It is running internal wastegates. It started smoking when I started it up to go home from work. It would idle rough but seemed to still make power even though it was smoking. When I pulled the dipstick while it was running it would have a little bit of smoking puffing out. Induction performance in Tampa installed it. I'm thinking if it's the gasket then it's time for a motor build. Probably do the stage 2 short block build through Z1. I expected it to hold up longer than this!

Sorry I just couldn't help thinking of this when you said that.
