well, i put my turbo manifold, wastegate and my turbo on a few days ago. intercooler got mounted today just have to do the piping. anyway, at idle i get blue clouds of smoking coming out of my exhaust and sometimes when i drive. I noticed my wastegate was a little loose so I took it off to retighten it and there was oil around the gasket and where u screw down the wastegate . anyone know what that may be caused by? my wastegate and my exhaust are blowing out blue smoke...

That won't matter. Take your finger and run it inside your exhaust tip. Is there wet oil in there?

When I installed my turbo, I had to use a rubber hose for the return line for a couple of days. It kink right in half and my car smoked so bad that I got pulled over for "visable emissions" the very first day. Check your oil return line.
