White smoke usually means coolant is burning, Is your turbo water cooled?

do you think the added oil raised the oil pressure in the turbo feed line causing it to leak from all the extra oil being shoved in?

if you put to much oil, it will def smoke because ur running overlly rich, if it doesnt stop, check your oil return line, it might b kinked and its building up to much pressure and passing straight through thte turbo seals, thats wat happened to mine, does it smoke at idle, at boost, or jus all the time?

Overly rich? huh? Anyway, oil does not burn white. 1.5 quarts too much shouldnt make it pour smoke. I have overfilled mine by a lot before and it never smoked. What does it smell like?

Rich usually refers to A/f ratio, but I get what you're saying.

ok if its a white smoke with a blue tint in it then your turbo is proly gone. cheack for shaft play and oil in your i/c pipe and intercooler

why are your coolint lines not hooked up. how long have you rain it with them not hooked up could have over heated the turbo and burnt the seals and internale parts just my 2 cents.

also what turbo is it
