a local guys here had his smoke and blowby for about 800 miles, depends on how you break it in, and I am curious what boost you are running during your "break-in" period

If smoking that bad it could be the rings aint seated...rings could be gapped too large or possibly the valve seals. Have you done a compression test or better yet a leakdown test.
