Check for shaft play.

Well first, check to make sure every nut and/or bolt on the turbo is tight. See if that takes care of the issue, if not, most likely the turbo is blown.

Oil seals are shot. Is it a knockoff turbo?

one of the bolts was loose. i tighten it but there was still little bit of white smok coming out of that bolt. there is still lot of white smoke coming out of the down pipe. i am letting it cool down and tighten that bolt little more. the turbo is precision t3/t4 AR 70. i am also thinking the oil seals are bad because there is lot of oil on the turbine and i am sure there is lot of oil on the exhaust side and thats why its burning white smoke?
