Default sts turbo camaro smoking like a ****!!! need help!!!

ok guys i have a 99 SS camaro, sts kit, stock motor with bigger injectors, car is bellowing out smoke and i can not seem to find the problem, my first thought was that the seal was bad in the turbo b/c the charge pipe had oil in it. had the turbo sent off and completely redone. just got the the turbo back on yesterday and the car is still doing the same thing!!!! any ideas on what the problem could be???? thanks for the help!!!

why does everyone keep thinking turbo seals, its not even really a REAL SEAL that you define or see a typical seal application.

--check the oil scavenge pump? (power/working...etc)

--do you still have the t-tap connector on the PCM for ignition signal? (trash, use a butt splice/connector)

--check wiring

-- make sure you have a good pcv breathing setup. vented both valve covers.
make sure you have a good one way valve or two to prevent boost into your crankcase from the intake. the factory one way valve isn't worth spitting on

Or your engine is blown. Check compression and leadown if it isn't scavenger pump or pcv issue.
