I was actually thinking the same thing but the turbo is practically brand new. I blew one of the intercooler pipes off a few weeks ago but didn't notice any oil at all. The strangest thing was that it started smoking hardcore right after I changed my headgasket. I don't know what would explain that, but I assume that replacing the rings and valve seals this weekend will fix whatever it is. I really appreciate the help though and I will exhaust every possibility until I am blue in the face.
