[QUOTE="19COBRA93, post: 5948849, member: 10462"] I don't think anything's wrong with your turbo. I think you're having drain issues. They're VERY temperamental with draining. If you're drain is too small, or too many bends, or many other reasons why they don't drain right. What size drain line are you using? Are there any tight bends? Does it continuously go down to the oil pan or does it level out at all anywhere? Does it smoke only after start up then go away once the car warms up? That's the first sign of drain issues. When the oil is cold it doesn't drain as fast as it should and it starts to backup in the turbo. Once the oil warms up it starts to drain better and the smoking goes away. I've experienced just about every oil drain issue there is on my two turbo cars. It just takes some time and the right size oil lines to fix it. My car has smoked so bad before I actually had the state called on me, that was just a drain issue as well. [/QUOTE]
