Constant white smoke at idle is a telltale sign of injector and high-pressure oil pump troubles. After taking care of the injectors, it was time to hook up with Terminator Engineering for a new high-pressure oil pump.

Terminator Engineering remanufactures and tests, one by one, all of its pumps by hand. With this kind of quality control, no wonder all T500 pumps come with a no-questions-asked, two-year warranty. The difference in the stock high-pressure oil pump and the T500 is the modifications that allow for better oil volume and flow, which in turn mean higher injector control pressures with less work being done by the pump. Better volume means higher injection pressure, and higher injection pressures mean better atomization, which means better power, performance and mileage. 

The T500 is basically a modified stock high-pressure oil pump and it is designed to be a direct bolt-in replacement to your stock pump, which is always nice.
