so much smoke!!! whats going on
ok so finally the cars is boosting at about 5lbs i got everything going great BUT i got a butt load of smoke coming out of the exhaust at idle or low rpms in first gear it pours out hard if im stopped at a light its doesnt take more than a few seconds to start pouring out and wont stop till i start driving... smells like something burning in the engine bay but nothing.... i checked the inlet pipe at the throttle body for oil nothing! im so confused at whats going on...! any help would be awesome!

Re: so much smoke!!! whats going on
start with a compression test a leak down if u have one.
probably the turbo's seals
check the down pipe for oil, and around the oil inlet for the turbo for leak. check the charge pipe for oil, anywhere oil could pool like where it dips down.
what weight oil are you running?

Re: so much smoke!!! whats going on
thought i'd inform you on my situation, i have perfect compression 190 across the board. i have an oil restrictor on my feed line, and a rebuilt turbo. apparently your oil control rings can be beat without the compression rings being shot. my car used a quart of oil a day, smoked on acceleration. im trying to decide wheather i should build the d series or get a b16?
