Hello everyone,

I have a 1994 eagle talon 6-bolt swap. White smoke comes out of the exhaust when I hit boost. There is no oil in the turbo its all clean also, I purchased the turbo less then a month ago so that is good. I can't seem to figure out why it keeps smoking under load...It's a 20g.
 
what kind of 20G . If it's the low quality ebay-godspeed turbo, i would be concerned about the quality and durability. But since you seem sure it's not the turbo , then it may be your drain line, What kind of drain line do you have? . many times they kink. Your feed line is under pressure. Your drain line is NOT/ it's under gravity.

either you're feeding more oil than you can drain, or your drain line needs an upgrade.
Even if your turbo is clean as you said, that oil has to go somewhere , so it's making it's way past the seals , that doesn't mean your seals are bad, but it will do it ,if it doesn't have a good drain.

Send pics if you can.
 
Are you loosing coolant? White smoke is typically coolant burning, not oil. Sounds more like a head gasket issue, pressure pushing coolant into the combustion chambers. Compression test, leak down test and combustion gas test will give you and us more info to work with.
