i just installed the greddy turbo kit on my 95 240. car runs great. idles great sounds good. when i get on it its fine. no smoke. after i let off the gas it lets out about 10 percent smoke until about 2 grand. lighter in color but not white. im running the boost that was preset with the kit until my boost controller gets here. is this just normal burn off. i did get the car from the original owner and she was an oldie. any info will be great. thanx.

During high rpm blasts the oil pressure obviously goes up. This could be causing the oil to backup if the oil return line isn't as straight as possible. No bends, no kinks and 5/8 fittings. Turbo smoke is almost always a bad return line or bung placement.
