Yes. the only thing you're going to lose is the oxygen sensor and that isn't used until you're in closed loop.

thank u i,ll go that route first... before pulling the DP back... if I do pull pipe back what kind of residual (sp) would I be lookin at?
it dont start smoking until a few minutes later, after start, then wow, then just before thermo opens starts to fade to a little bit, till u give it gas.

Sounds like your turbo. If the thing isn't smoking until it gets hot that tells me the oil is probably in the exhaust piping and when the piping gets hot it starts to smoke.

turbo it is! exh. side filled w/ oil, had pulled the cross over pipe and looked in pipes and they were clean, ran, no smoke, thats when I pulled the DP, filled w/ oil the fins were riding a puddle it was that bad..., and
