Must be on a B-Series, because honestly I rarely hear of D's causing smoke from oil pressure. I was fine without a regulator. Who knows?

Easy solution.

Disconnect the oil feed line.

No oil line to turbo = no oil = no smoke

is this a sarcastic post to make fun of the newbs? i have the same exact prob on my ls-t, i added the stealthmode restrictor and now it doesnt smoke but anyone driving behind me passes out due to oil smell. plus when i slam on the brakes hard or go down long hills i get a puff of blue smoke

Okay, because until the seals blew it never smoked annnnnnnd my buddies Y7 never smoked. I have YET to see it on a D-series smoke because of too much oil psi.

Happens all the time. Way too much oil going to the turbo usually. Im not a b-series guy, but I dont see the b-series not sending around the same amount of oil to the turbo.

I just use it as a smoke screen with my smoking 14b. It stops people from riding on your *** when you give it some gas and they get a nice blue cloud and the smell of burning oil. Oh and that awesome mack truck/chainsaw sound with a bad turbo and open downpipe.
