Default Soot on tuned Ecoboost with pics
One week after a wash this is the soot.





I assume everyone has some level of soot. It took over a month to get this bad with my previous diesel. Any thoughts as to why there's so much?

I've got a white truck and don't get anything near that.

Mine has been tuned since the beginning.

Mine is black so I can't tell. Tip is always nasty. Meh. It's not burning anything it shouldn't and plugs look good so I'm not going to worry.

Gas engines will create soot when the run rich.

93perf at all times. Mods in sig. I'm not worried with it but just posting to get everyone's thoughts. I have a direct injected qx56 and my bumper doesn't have a hint of soot.

As a matter of fact yes. I've been too lazy to swap them out. Wonder if the soot level has anything to do with plugs or its coincidence?
