So this happened a very long time ago...let me tell you a little story
It was a pretty hot day but my MK6 GTI has never had problems with overheating. This is a stage 2 protuned GTI by Stratifiedauto. Cold air intake, full catless exhaust, GFB DV+ were the main power mods.
So I was pulling onto the highway and decided to do a pull, I think it was 2nd gear if I remember correctly. I experienced drastic power loss and white smoke was flying out of the exhaust...and I mean a lot of it. I pulled over on the side of the highway and even at idle there was white smoke. I turned the car off and waited 10 mins and tried again, still white smoke. This is where it gets weird, I switched to the stock tune thanks to Cobb....no white smoke. Drove it home with no problems. I took all of my modifications off and have been driving it for around 6 months with no problems.
Does anyone have any idea what could have been the problem? It has to do with the tune but what would cause the white smoke? I have been WOT on my car as usual with the stock tune and have not had a single issue.
If you guys could help me out that would be greatly appreciated, thinking about selling the car for FRS/Fiesta ST/Civic SI.
Here's a pic of the once fast car, thanks guys!
