Default white smoke after warm up

i have a 96 del sol gsr swapped with a full-race turbo kit...

my problem is that after the car warms up it starts to smoke like crazy...during warm up no problem...no smoke...idles very good...

ive done a compression test and the numbers are all within 5 psi of eachother...i am not losing coolant at all...dont think its a blown head gasket...

ive read some places that my valve seals could be no good...is this true? i had the head rebuilt and the valve stem seals were replaced with new ones..so not too sure about that either...was rebuilt about 3000 miles ago...

anyone had this problem before?

it could be too much oil going to your turbo or your turbo seals.

but only after it warms up??? i figured if it has too much oil pressure to the turbo it will smoke right as it is cold still...

Rip off the down pipe and see if there is any oil in it and the exhaust housing.

If so...then you think it'd be my turbo seals?

as your car warms up your oil pressure increases...i would take rich7777`s advise and see if theres oil in your downpipe/exhausthousing and then from there put a restrictor in your oil feed to the turbo and if it still smokes...check your seals
