Default how fast can i kill a turbo??

i just put my freshly rebuilt t-25 on my car... i haven't even driven the damn thing yet and it started blowing white smoke. i don't have the best oil return line, but is it too late or did i already kill the seals inside the thing...

White smoke? I don't think oil would cause white smoke. Check your head gasket.

You really need to get the right sized drain. Your just asking for trouble.

Have you started it? You had to have at least started it for oil to come out. That doesn't sound good.

Fix the oil drain. The bigger the better. What exactly are you using for the oil drain?

You have to figure something out. Make it work. Otherwise your just going to ---- your seals up.
