Lots of smoke ?? im pretty new to the turbo world i just recently bought and installed an sts kit now when i go WOT i get a good bit of smoke out the exhaust and i noticed my car uses oil now how can i tell if its the turbo seals or if i dont have my pcv hooked up correctly?
i bought the kit used from a member of this site so it is a used turbo but he told me it only had like 10k on it

If i were u I would do like i did and not run that stupid pcv switching thing if u have it, Just run a breather of the valve covers and wire the oil return pump to run on high all the time and ditch that hugh resistor. Also make sure ur check valve in the oil supply line is wrking correctly.

i dont have the sts pcv thing i ran a catch can but to be honest im not sure if its ran correctly and what do you mean about the oil pump the electric one that comes with the kit? and are you talking about the little resistor box that gets mounted up on the inner fenderwell? did you just take that out completely?

you can do search on here and find lots of things us rearmount guys have made better or reengineered. Schantin has a lot of threads about this stuff too.
