Default Bah spoke too soon! turbo is fucked!

Well I finished my setup as most of you know. I noticed after we did the injector install the car started up and then white some came from the exhuast only for a bit during the warm up but went away. It smelled like oil. Well its getting worse. I guess my turbo is crap. I am only running 1/8 lines so I dont think its getting too much oil to blow by seals. My buddy thought it was too much fuel washing the cylinder walls and buring up my oil. I'm quite upset. I just had my downpipe made today and noticed its smoking a bit more now. Any suggestions?

I had a similar problem. It ended up being the return was too low. I'd say check that out before all else.

A bit of advice:
If you think you blew your HG make sure the white smoke is definitely coolant burning before you pull the head off...i fell for that one :P

Thanks for the response, the oil return is very high in the oil pan and is huge, almost 1" ID. The smoke is definately not coolant.
