Default A LOT OF SMOKE!!!!

Well, i got my setup up and running, it's producing boost, about 7 psi and feeling every pull, but..... I SMOKE like a MOTHER******! It's burning oil, i just need to know if it's worth fixing? Could i be feeding to much oil to the turbo? Seals are bad? Let me know you're thoughts, all i have to do is rev it a llitle a smoke everywhere.

new or used turbo? check the charge piping and downpipe for oil. If its clean then it's time for a compression test.

what should i be asking for when rebuilding this turbo? Does anything need to be sent out to a shop to get done, or can i do this myself at home?

Buy a rebuild kit and rebuild it. It's pretty damn easy.
