Default B18B Smoking Problem HELP!!

I have a 95 B18B equipped with a Garrett T04B T4 running 5 psi. The car throws white smoke..a good amount of it at times. My oil return line has a pretty good kink in it and goes down into a C pretty much and then comes back up a little to run into the oil pan. Do you guys think that this could be causing that huge problem or do you think its something a little more serious. I will try and post a picture of the oil return line tomorrow and you guys can see for yourself Thanks a lot.

if you gas it and white smoke comes out, its better than white smoke comin' out just when you start the car. check your pipes ie: dp/charge pipes to see if you have oil in them, that could be a prob too. other than that it should be fine if you gas it and white smoke comes out, it should go away after a few days of driving.

is your oil return line, don't waste your time posting the pictures. The line should be as free flowing as possible, NO KINKS at all.

yeah i had that prob too early on and the oil pressure busted my turbo seals..sux, then i switched to a 3/4" (thumb size) return line for better flow.

I had tons of white smoke pouring out the exhaust when I just started the car shortly after the turbo install. Turns out my pistons were gone so I bought a built motor and it was still smoking white and idealing rough I believe my turbo is done too it sux. I think I tapped the pan wrong because it sits in the middle(too low) and its angled up a bit. I think it caused oil pressure and blew the seals to my new turbo. All in under an hour.
