using 20/50 castol only smokes when it is warmed up and after boosting, usually i just let off the gas when this happens and it somewhat goes away ,,, i am thinking to much oil pressure on that line the smaller the line the more pressure it should have right

so what if there is too much pressure on the turbo feed line? The turbo really doesn't need that much oil to drink. Run a compression check to rule out the motor.

no, a smaller feed line won't give you more pressure, and running that thick a grade of oil and it's still smoking, your seals are fucked, time to rebuild that turbo

well itis possible the oil leak is coming from the exhaust side and it still needs to be tuned up a little, i guess seals maybe but i just rebuilt the turbo

I still like the kinked return line approach, but we won't know for exact certain until the motor gets rules out of the way.

once again, the feed pressure shouldn't have anything to do with it.. how do you think the added pressure of a step-down size tube will make your ---- smoke?

If you think that's the problem then step up to 3/16 line and see if it still smokes

if the feed is the problem, then you want to get a smaller feed line, not a bigger one, it doesn't have more pressure just b/c it's a smaller area, but it will flow more oil if it's bigger, therefore making the problem worse. get an oil pressure gauge and a bleeder valve to lower your pressure to the turbo.

i think the problem lies some place else but if everyone wants to concentrate on the line - go for it
