Turbo Smoking or something else?
Ok here is whats happeneing when I first turn my car on after about 2 mins im assuming the turbo is warming up or oil is leaking into the downpipe the car smokes black smoke smells like burning oil. After I drive the car for a few minutes and the turbo gets hot and engine the car stops smoking. Heres what I have thought. Let me know your 2 cents on the issue.
1. its not my comp or leak down its good.
2. def not a head gasket.
3. Possibly I might need an oil restrictor the turbo is getting high oil press at idl when i first start it and its blowing past the seals slightly and burning in the downpipe.
4. The turbo is just due for a rebuild the seals are starting to go bad and I need to get it rebuilt.

Sounds like a drain issue. Post pics of your drain set up please. Also look at the charge pipes to see if you have oil in them. Get back with us on that.
ok I will take pics tomorrow thing is idk the car has had the same oil line ssetup for 2 years the turbo has not been rebuilt since then thats why im leaning towards the turbo needing to be rebuilt.
