could be headgasket, thats the first thing that comes to mind.

Boostless97Lude

well..... i guess that could be ok, since i need to get a thicker one anyways..... if the headgasket was cousing it to burn oil, then shouldn't the car want to overheat?

bad rings???

Is your return line getting backed up? Maybe some oil is backing up into the turbo and spilling out the exhuast?

Boostless97Lude

bad rings would cause it to smoke at higher RPMS more than it would at idle... right?

i'll check the oil return to make sure it isn't backing up....

what about thicker oil, is it possible that the oil is to thin and slipping through the seal on the turbo?

Boostless97Lude

It could be valve stem seals or turbo seals.

If it's a new motor, it could be that the rings haven't seated properly yet.

Only way to find out is to do a test.

See if it's the motor or turbo.
