So I got my system on my car finally(un tuned for the moment) and I have noticed that when I hold the throttle at approx 2 or 3k, smoke comes out the down pipe. It's a shorty pipe due to the angle it was made so I had to cut it. Last night was the 1st time I turned the car on since 4 days prior to setting the car up/getting it ready for the turbo install.
I have not driven it, I have the boost gauge hooked up(reads neg 20 vac) and have my hallman backed all the way out to read 0 psi. I have only turned the car on only to let it idle, and to check for leaks(none)
A little background info on motor:
Stock lsv
B16 head
B18a1 block
Arp rod bolts
Stock everything
chipped p06 for na setup. Will be tuned this coming monday.
I realized the return line had been turned to an oddball s curvature after I noticed the car smoking under throttle. I have since then fixed the angle and am now looking into the oil restrictor. I have yet to disconnect the piping to check for leaks/oil but will report back with an update.
Any ideas and/or suggestions?

Yup probably just oil from the kinked drain. Depending on how much oil seeped past the seal it can take a while for it all to burn off.

The "oil restrictor" I had on the turbo which was originally included in the sale of the kit I bought, was about the diameter of your standard pencil LOL.
Correction fixed. No more smoke.
