Default turbo: another white smoke out of the exhaust question..

Well im gettin white exhaust out of my muffler. I just installed a drag gen 3 turbo kit used and just got a full 3 inch exhaust catless. I read and i know it shouldnt be a blown head gasket. No oil in cooliant, spark plugs are tan color, oil level looks fine with no milky color to it. Im starting to think that its the turbo and maybe burning oil, but before installing the turbo i took it down to a turbo shop and he inspected it for me and didnt seem like the turbo needed a rebuild ( no signes of leaking oil). I dont have the car tuned, but i plan on uberdata in the next few days...but any input would be appriciated on some other reasons that could be causing this. Also it seems to be the thickest when i start to slow down after reving up to 5thousand and im still on 87 octane gas if that matters.

first of all you should be running 93 octane, i bet you have a kink in your return line, causing it to back up and smoke

lol 87 octane on a turbo car? sweet

And if it smokes when you let off the throttle its valve seals....when it goes into heavy vacuum it sucks the oil past the vavle seals...
