So my T-25 blew and I just replaced it with another T-25 from a club member. It spools fine I just am still seeing the same problems. The problem with the old turbo was it leaked oil into the intake and cause my car to smoke. Well I cleaned out the intercooler and as much of the oil from intake that I could. I still am getting the smoke. My guess is that I have a back up of oil in my exhaust that still needs to burn/blow through. Any thoughts or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

The smoke is being caused by the recirculation tubes that are attached to the intake pipe before the turbo. They allow oil to get blown into the intake pipe. I believe one comes from the valve cover, and the other might be from the PCV valve. easiest way to help with the oil is a catch can. Some people use fuel filters with good results too. Once you stop the blowby from getting into your IC pipes the smoking should stop.
