    have an intercooler setup? usually there will be oil/oil residue in the pipes/intercooler when you have blown seals/too much oil(IE wrong restrictor etc)

    Sounds like the seals are gone. I had this same issue on my WRX. Mine only smoked at idle and then mostly after a prolonged idle. The seals just went after 100k miles. Rebuild it yourself and save a little money. A decent rebuild kit for most rebuildable turbos is like $100. Most of the time you can find instructions online.

    I'm thinking seals. If you keep pushing it, it will start passing oil.......Bad Times.

    It depends on the specs of the turbos.

    The CFM, A/R, and Trim all determine the spool up and air movement characteristics of a turbo..

    BTW, I'll let that rebuild kit go for $45, it's just sitting in my closet wasting space.

    Yeah it's a full kit, just PM me and we can set something up.
    There are DIYs on the internet. This is for a DSM but, try googling turbo rebuild or something similar.
