Default b16a smoke at idle

Hi guys, Fix one car to have problems with the other.

My daily 98ex b16a3, eagle rods, NPR b16 turbo pistons and go-autoworks turbo kit.

This morning when I start it for let it warm, about 10 seconds after, it start to smoke (heavy). Turn off and check oil (no water) radiator (full).

Start it again and note smoke by the catch can. This afternoon perform a compression test, about 180-185 (always have this numbers since the build).

This numbers not point to ringlands. Somebody has experienced problems with control oil rings with good comp. numbers?

Going to perform a leak down test on Saturday, but I believe control rings can't be diagnosis by leak down.

probably the oil comes from your turbo.

usally when you have oil leak from the turine wheel, you see a lot of smoke only at idle or slow rpm and no smoke at all while normaly driving
