Correct, oil could be burning there instead of the turbo.

Yes, if the turbo is leaking oil you should find it in the IC piping. If not, you might have oil control problems in the top or bottom end of the motor. It could also be issues with the AOS. You deleted the venturi? Is the AOS connected to the J-boot? Check for oil in the J boot too, if your AOS is connected to the J boot you could be sucking oil mist before the turbo. If it isn't, that could be a clue.

You'll want to fix the smoking you want to get some money for the car.

Default may have found cause of smoking problem

Update: Removed plumbing from turbo inlet, intercooler, intake, and all hoses to check for excessive oil. Didn't find anything to throw a red flag. Pulled all the plugs and none showed any signs of burning oil. So far I cannot find any signs of oil burning thru the engine. Am going to remove turbo today too see if it is leaking oil in the hot side of the turbo. What else could cause excessive smoking?

Dan, post pictures, that's an easy way to attract buyers, maybe there is something your car has that I am looking for, anyway I don't see that you listed a WB guage? How do you tune your a/f ratio?

I have 6k to spare without picts if you are interested pm me.
