Default Up date on my turbo setup

just started her up tonight after doing some extensive changes to my setup.

I now have foward facing turbo headers, a 4 inch DP, and a large frame turbo all over a stock k member.


I rebuilt the turbo after finding a bad seal in it, my exhaust system was FILLED with oil.

She still smokes some, and im assuming its all the oil in the exhaust burning up. Any idea how long this should take?

Im begining to get nervous i didnt take care of the entire problem. Im running an oil restrictor, a check vavle, a scavange pump, and a resevoir for the oil to drain into first. The turbo is about 10 degrees tilted when the vehicle is on the ground.

ideas?

i wouldnt use a restrictor exspecially witha scavenge pump, but thats me.
i think 10* tiltl on the turbo is ok.
you could use some carb cleaner when the pipes are offto help clean up the old oil.

do you have any pictures yet?
