Default It runs! again

BUT the thing is a freakin smoke machine. I really hope the turbo isn't blown but I didn't have any vac leaks before.. One thing that points me in that direction is the idle raising to 3K+ rpms

pics to follow

edit: I forgot the mention. New chips solved my tach bouncing/injectors firing randomly problems Something weird was going on with the maxtronic box

I'd say the seals/bearing on the turbocharger are shot and are spraying oil directly into the exhaust. Had the identical problem on a 300ZX. The neighbors thought the mosquito patrol way spraying, you couldn't see across the street for the smoke.
