10lbs too much for stock B16a2?
Here's what i've collected so far...some of you here are on honda-tech too so if you've already posted there just ignore this thread...unless you have more usefull information to comment/suggest.

Summary:
Was boosting 10lbs on my stock B16a2. Two weeks into boost it started smoking horrible when on the throttle at ALL. Puking out out of the downpipe and burning. Any ideas?
- spark plugs are fine
- pcv system looks ok?

might it be blowing oil through the seals in the turbo bearing section? hopefully he didnt let the oil coke inside the housing, it might have coked at the oil drain passage causing oil to exit at the next spot, seals. I was told by Garret that a turbocharger only needs a "mist" of oil to be lubricated as so done in their drag car.

Will post pictures within the next 30 minutes. The car hasnt been boosting either, so i took the IC piping off and the FMIC today to find about 3 quarts INSIDE the intercooler piping........
- changed the oil return today and it's kink free....still smoking horribly
- checked spark plugs for detonation...they're fine
- im out of ideas.....
