Well if you have loosened up the either side of the turbo to clock it a certain way make sure all the bolts are tight. Sometimes a fresh turbo will smoke a little and spit some oil out until it warms up real good the first time round. Had that problem with my dads twin turbo kit we built for his truck. It spit some oil out and smoked for a while until we ran it a little than it quit smoking and shooting out oil. Try to let the turbo get to around 4-500 degrees first and see if it stops smoking. Also insure your drain is correct if not that will cause it to smoke and shoot oil out as well. Hope this helps.

Also be sure your turbo is level and plum, and the drain is clocked straight up and down.
