Hi Chuck.  
You aren't the only one with a smoking turbo.  My first thought is
to.look for excessive crankcase blowby.  Then see if there is oil in the
intake tube.  If your smoke is at warm startup only, then suspect the
turbo exhaust side seal.  
I am hoping to swap turbos with a spare from another local guy as my
smoke is of the "only when hot" variety.

I am having a problem with my turbo smoking when I start it up. It has
been overhaulled, and the seals have been checked twice. I found
exsecive oil in the turbo, but can not find where it comes from. Any
suggestions?
Chuck
