Default Smoke!?

ok i just recently started driving my car. it is NOT tuned. i have the msd boost a pump turned all the way down and a boost referanced regulator. the car doesnt smoke at idle or driving down the road but when i hit boost it smokes. and it doesnt smell as much like rich smoke it smells like oil smoke. i was thinking it could be i blowed the oil seals in the turbo but wouldnt it smoke at idle also?

Where's the turbo located? Any restrictor on the turbo oil feedline?

I'm assuming that you have a gravity drain. Does you're oil drain line have atleat a 45* angle from turbo to return point? and again, have you tried putting a restrictor in your oil supply line?

yes. it has a 45 10an fitting comming out of the turbo and full 10an line runninb into the pan. i thought today ab what could be the cause. i dont have a catch can. so i took the hose going from my passanger valve cover and reran it into a container and capped off the throttle body. it doesnt smoke nothing like it did. but it still does a little under hard acceleration. i think this could be because of the rich condition???

Why are you doing any hard accel without a tune? That's just begging for problems. Are you monitoring any data now?
