Yea so i got the oil restrictor, and that helped alot, but the reason i was smoking so bad was i had such a bad boost leak, took till almost redline till it would boost, wastegate stuck open, fixed that, then boost came at about 3200, i would shift well before redline ( dont want to blow motor ) so i didnt see any smoke at all when i shift at like 5900 or 6000, good ----, restrictor prolly fixed it alot too, nicely done guys, oh and blasst i got a broken turbo, might send it your way, let me know how that hole process works, thanks.

Nah its cool, were all lookin for help now and then, now when i boost in 3rd, or higher, a longer gear, smoke like a mother ------ forest fire, and only right after im done boosting when i let off the gas will it smoke, not durring boost at all, im guessing the seals are gone, i did all the other stuff you guys said to do, so im just gona wait till the turbo goes i guess, after blown seals how long do i got, oh well, ill get a new one soon enough.

I think that 8AN is 1/2. Im pretty sure that 10AN would be 5/8.

I have the same problem, after the car is warm and i'm in stop & go it smokes big clouds at idle. My inlet and return are the correct size with a good return curve. My fittings are all the same. I've had my turbo on for about 2 months now and noticced that oil is collecting at the same seal next to the return. I don't have a catch can yet and the stock pcv is still hooked to the IM. Could the crankcase pressure be sending oil right back into the turbo.

Word. For every 1 "AN" there is 1/16th of an inch in diameter; -8AN is 1/2", -16AN would be 1". <---Now that would be a return line.
