hey all...i have recently taken my car to the dyno to get its tune...just got done building my gsr turbo...anyway..i have a smoking problem. when i start the car, it idles fine, no smoke. i rev it a lil, no smoke. but then after it runs for a bit, and gets warm, it starts to smoke. and when it starts it doesnt stop. i wouldnt believe its the rings, because it would smoke all the time then, warm or cold...i think. anyway, i have a top mount mani, with a t66. the wastegate is located on the side directly under the turbo, so the return line isnt exactly 90 degrees up and down, but i still think it should be draining ok...it's at maybe a 60 degree angle. the compressor seal isnt leaking and there wasnt any oil in the charge piping. i dont know what else is could be, other than pcv, because i have the top one off of the valve cover and put a breather filter on it. i still have the canister on the block with the vacuum running to the IM..so idk if theres too much pressure not letting the oil drain...but if anyone has had any experience with this crap let me know something. its my first turbo motor.

 

It might not be your only problem, but it sounds like you need to install some type of crankcase evacuation setup. The OEM PCV setup is going to cause problems because you've introduced a positive pressure to the intake manifold which causes the PCV valve to stick open. Take a look at the links below, they should give you a better understanding of what you need to do.
