well, for the past few months, ive been dealing with a lil smoking issue. lil puffs of blue smoke on take offs, and also when around 5k and up there apparent. well. i did a compression test just recently. 210 on every cylinder. so thats good. i have an oil restrictor on my turbo and the problem went away after that, but ive been driving it real easy since my wideband has been down.my pcv is also perfeect. 1coming from the bacl of the block, the other top block exit from the stock system, and the valve cover. now. i remembered today that i had forgot to fill my rear motor mount. so, i think that my motor is doing the gansta leaning when doing hard pulls. for exp. today i changed the plugs and regapped them. car ran better. when i got back i revved the motor in from the throttle body and watch the motor shift back more. i think my turbo is at just an angle so when it sits when the motor is off or idling, it doesnt smoke and it drains perfectly/ when the motor is in upper rpms and leans back, it doesnt drain properly and smokes from the oil not draining right from the turbo. does this make sense or am i completely off. ive been trying to trouble shoot this thing for a while and it driving me absolutely insane. it did it again today and im just sick of it. i feel like selling the damn thing and getting an rx7, or a bmw. any advice or thoughts would be great.

bump for some advice or and idea of what it could be

Same thing with my old setup. At idle and normal driving now smoke, but once I got on it it started smoking like crazy. Turned out to be a back oil return. The line would slope a bit before entering the oil pan which in turn is bad.

i think my mani might be too low, but im not so sure. the car is running kinda rich rich now, its gonna get retuned wednsday

Your motor makes a lot more oil pressure at higher rpms. I sound like It could be an oil return line issue like the person above mentioned . You might want to get an oil pressure gauge to help truble shoot it.

You should be making at least 80psi of oil at WOT. I had a oil pressure gauge and I know what I was seeing.

I have the same turbo / same size oil feed line / same size return line / same internals / same clearances.

Mine does not smoke at high rpm

My turbo placment is different with a much more verticle return.

:food for thought / bump for some help:
