well i started with putting a different turbo a 14b and a needle valve which i swore to myself i would never use and to my suprise no smoke at all.....so it was my turbo to start with......i like the way the 14b sounds to when it spools..

I have the same problem with my T3. Smoking under boost. it's definately burning oil though. Blueish and smells like oil (I have a good nose). I'm thinking maybe I should try a needle valve and see if lowering oil pressure to the turbo helps.
