Take the turbo off and inspect for bad seals. Easily noticeable. What brand valve seals did you installed and did you also installed new valve guides? An easy way of inspecting seals or guides is to take out the spark plugs and inspect the piston tops. You would want to do this with the vehicle sitting over night. If the tops are wet, then seals or guides.

Have you contacted Aaron? Call him, and tell him you suspect turbo seals, and follow the directions he gives you. Continuing to run it may void anything he could do for you.

burning oil off boost and decel is usually valve seals, but was it smoking before your put the motor on or was it on all at once?

it doesn't burn oil during decel. just after i get into boost and switch gears then you see a huge puff of smoke come out the back. so im not sure . and it burns a little sometimes at idle but only after ive been running for a min,. then it stops after it cools down a bit. any ideas???
