Bad Turbo or Do i need Restrictor?
Heres the Deal.
I got a turbo Si T3 T4 Turbo
1/2" Oil Return
When car Starts, there is no oil smoke.
It Gradually starts to smoke
After a while at idle, there is thick oil smoke.
Driving, there is clouds of smoke
My Return line has no kinks or does not hang upwards.
I even Drained out some oil in the pan to see if the return was blocked.
PLEASE give me some valuable input

What kinda turbo do you have? if it's a ball-bearing turbo it generally needs much less oil pressure than journal-bearing turbo's... Your seals on the turbo could be blown.. how does it handle driving without boost vs. with?
