      I agree with J2speedandcustom in that putting some heat and some boost through them will probably clear up the smoking issue as long as youre not throwing too much oil at the seals and overwhelming them.

      Ive seen this on turbo apps that sit around for months on end without being started (my Syclone for one). It will smoke like I left the piston rings completely out of the motor when fired up after sitting for a long time but after a hand full of 15psi 0-~80mph pulls it clears up. I guess the seals get a little dry, shrink, or whatever and require some heat/flogging to bring them around. Scared the pewpy outta me the first time it happened since I saw $$$ for a turbo rebuild coming out of the exh but it cleared up after some driving so all was good again.

      GMC Syclone (currently wrecked thanks to the typical rubber headed VA driver not paying attention to his red stop light...oh and he didnt have insurance either)
