well the smoke now isn't as bad as it was when i first started up, but if this doesn't stop it look like am going to have to get my turbo looked at, the car was running fine without the kit as soon as i fitted it. it started to smoke so its gotta be somthing with the setup, also my boost gauge reads differewnt to what my datalogger reads.

im sure youve done this, but double check to make sure the oil return is free flowing. a restrictor will definitely help if you're puttin too much oil pressure on those seals. hopefully though its not past the point of no return
