just installed turbo smoking
just installed a t3/t4 turbo into my civic b18 got a problem, under boost the car is fine its only when am coming to a stop and at the lights that i can see smoke. its diffinately burning oil cause i can see it on my tail pipes oil feed line is stealthmode and drain i think its the 8an stainless braided fitting. the smoke aint thick could it be i need a restictor? am going to buy one anyway but just need some opinions. thanks heres what am planning to get,

well the smoke now isn't as bad as it was when i first started up, but if this doesn't stop it look like am going to have to get my turbo looked at, the car was running fine without the kit as soon as i fitted it. it started to smoke so its gotta be somthing with the setup, also my boost gauge reads differewnt to what my datalogger reads.
im sure youve done this, but double check to make sure the oil return is free flowing. a restrictor will definitely help if you're puttin too much oil pressure on those seals. hopefully though its not past the point of no return
