Default My newly installed turbo is killing my car....HELP!

I have a 94 Hatch Mini-Me (SOHC) , i just installed a used greddy turbo kit and after some problems we got it on and all the oil leaks stopped....so we thought. I was recing a stealt TT And clouds of white smoke started pouring out of my exhaust. I know it's oil but i can't find any leaks so it must be internal, what caould it be?

How do you replace the seals and how much do they cost. I know they have to be pressed in but is there a cheap way?

White smoke? That is a head gasket. Install a new one.

Where is the oil return bung located on your oil pan? It sounds like you're having draining issues, causing an oil backup in your return and blowing your seals.

I welded a bulkhead about 1 1/2 inches down from the top of the oil pan, i could not find a bung anywhere that would work, have any suggestions on how to properly do my oil return line and where to get the seals.

Sounds way too low in the pan. You should mount your bulkhead/bung as high as possible. I would show you a picture of mine but my site is down.
