ok, so i replaced my t25 in my talon 4 days ago, but drove with it being blown for probably 2 months..my question is, since i know it was burning a lot of oil, is it possible that the inside of my exhaust is coated with oil and it is still burning off? because my car smokes only after it has gotten hot, and it isnt a whole lot of smoke and it doesnt do it a huge cloud under boost, so i dont think the turbo is bad already..just wondering if anyone has any ideas..thanks
 
a good way to check is to pull the turbo manifold off of the head, and check the ports, if their is oil in there then its more than likely the valve seals, if not then have the turbo checked out
