Default alot of exhuast smoke???

i gutted my cat and now i have alot of smoke coming out the exhuast once i get of the throttle. my oil return is above oil level and is the same size as a dsm. turbo only has bout 200 miles on it and i know its not the engine seals or rings so why do i forecast rain once off the throttle. its cool while punching it.

I replaced my entire exhaust system when I went turbo w/a 2X resonator & a flow through muffler. No smoke until a piston ring went. Why R U certain that you don't have internal engine problems ?

then it has to be the turbo, or a shitty oil return line, the oil fitting in the pan has to be above the oil level in the pan, or it will backup inside of the center section and cause a leak to blow out your exhaust.

gutting your cat has nothing to do with smoke.
