if its not a ballbearing turbo then too the high oil pressure shouldnt bother it as much.

Wouldn't it smoke all the time though? It only seems to do it when I initially give it some gas, like leaving a red light or stop sign..and even then it's only a puff...that's it. It still boosts fine and all too...if that would have anything to do with it...

Everyone looks to blame the turbo...

When you step on the gas and the exhaust blows smoke (especially white/blue) chances are you could have a blown piston seal becuase the oil pressure/ vaccum is forcing the oil into the cylinder.

If it smokes when you left off the gas it's a good chance you have a bad valve stem seal and the vaccum sucks oil into the cylinder from the head.

hope that helps
