Default What makes the smoke go away ?

Every one seems to love the smoke, altho i've had my fun, i'm looking into makin the smoke go away whilst keeping the power,

Just mean going compounds ? Is there a turbo that would be way faster spooling for a bottom turbo other than an S300 ?

the quadzilla after lvl 4 or so just starts turing the planet black

Have you tried tuning your setup with the quad? Larger turbo or compounds will def help the smoke situation but you will never get rid of it completely with out tons of tuning and money. Even then you will probably have some smoke.

Another thought would be a supercharger.

a good set of injectors matched to what turbo you have

Turn the fuel down or the air up.

Wouldn't a larger turbo slow down spool time ? Is there a charger i should be looking into that would spool quicker than this ?

I've made a few custom tunes with the Iquad, timing is everything i've noticed.

I do like the idea of the supercharger, i read someone's build with a supercharger, that spools almost instantly, but how would that be for towing ? i would assume it would help a world of wonders, but i'm not sure.

how would a set of injectors help cut down the smoke ? Wouldn't it just make more smoke ( it's an honest question, i really don't understand how )

well when a charger doesn't have enough fuel it will act like a charger with too much fuel. when the two are matched together they work better

Dump in a bunch of Nitrous Oxide!
In theory, Nitrous oxide is a oxidizer, more oxygen, more burn, less smoke. But too much will put out the fire.

Nitrous is a chemical turbocharger.
