at higher RPMS? if not, it's a bad tune, or if that you haven't tuned it at all.

Is the oil line going to your turbo leaking?

i looked at it, and i think i know why it is smoking a little. i looked where the oil line is, where it is tapped into the oil pan and there is a leak, but not oil leaking out. i looked at it and seems like where the hose going to the oil pan there is tape wrapped around the line. so i think it has a small cut in it and tape is just keeping it from pouring out. anyone help me if this is correct.
