valve seals possibly

Re: turbo smoking
 

why u add more oil jus cuz it was burning some? to much oil can cause burning oil if its as high as the return line in the pan causing backup in the return. smoke out of breather/oil cap usually means ur rings are toast. it'll still run lol jus really crappy

could just be oil/grease burning off, do a compression test
