Was it a used turbo? it might have blown seals.

but if i lose the fmu wont i kill my motor on accel ?

Re:Turbo SOHC Si: NEED HELP! plz
 

Have you been prescribed any medication for this problem yet?

Re:Turbo SOHC Si: NEED HELP! plz
 

yeah drop that fmu and use TE. it might burn smoke because theirs too much pressure going into your turbo. i had the same problem. but i bought the needle valve and it fixed it. so maybe you need a needle valve. the fmu is probably why your car is slow. BTW are u running 450's also??

Re:Turbo SOHC Si: NEED HELP! plz
 

whats TE ? no im running stock injectors, the smoke stops occasionally after it warms up, then every 3-4 stops it smokes for a bit til i take off.

Re:Turbo SOHC Si: NEED HELP! plz
 

oil return line is prob. screwed up, and you should fix it asap if it is.

If the smoking goes away after the car gets warm, then its more than likely that the oil while cold is thick, while once it gets warm it smooths out and dranes from the turbo better.

If it hasn't already destoryed the seals, you shoudl be fine, if the return line is the problem, which I'm betting it is, but that's just my guess.
