symptoms of needing a rebuild

I have turbo ls I put a fmax turbo kit on it, drove it for about 15 mins (without the rideal headgasket) and now my car just pours out WHITE smoke out the exhaust, and a lot of blowby from the breather, my car bogs (needs valve adjustment). Doesn't smoke that much at idle but we you start to drive (not boosting) it smokes awful.Installed the new headgasket, same problem. compression is reading 90.180.70.60...thinking it maybe the rings but wouldn't I be leaking oil and getting some blue smoke which I'm not, but I do have some oil left in the exhaust. Car has been sitting for 5 months cause of winter, now I can't get it to go. wtf.....

Replace all the rings and pray your cylinder walls are not scarred. Good Luck.
