    Well sh!t... I pulled the turbo off my car and put the stock header on and guess what??? No smoke at idle. I let the temp come up and still no smoke.

    The oil drain on the turbo is soaked so that leads me to believe the drain collapsed in the bend and caused the oil pressure to get to high for the turbo seals.

    I still got to get it back together and drive it around to see if its the turbo for sure. But it looks like I'll be N/A for a while.
