Default turbo question

i have a 93 civic si with the d16z6 and it has a dsm turbo and tuned with hondata. when i get on the gas a bit and then slow back down it smoke pretty bad. is it the turbo seals? and should i just buy a new turbo or replace the seals. also if i were to buy the exact same turbo, is it just bolt on in go or do i have to do other steps?

i think if you smoke on deceleration that means its the valve seals. i could be mistaken though

it doesnt smoke real bad in the morning. only when i really get on it like 6k rpm, then when i come to a stop i see a cloud of smoke surronding my car, this sucks, also i took off my filter from my turbo and noticed a couple drops of oil.

yes it is a dsm turbo lol. not really any other symptoms, just when the car is raced of taken to higher rpms it smokes like a bitch when i come to a stop. what do i do rebuild the turbo or buy a new one? if i do is it just bolt the new turbo on and go? or?
