Turbo or someting else???

Well I had a ported out 14b for a while in my room that i bought used. I finally decided to install it the other day along with my gm maf. Well I made a really stupid mistake I forgot to connect the wastegate actuator vacum and also the boost control solenoid valve and when i started my car it started smoking alot. So then I saw I forgot to connect those 2 things and now that both are connected the car is still smoking. I took off my intake pipe to see if there was any shaftplay and there wasnt it seemed pretty actualyl to stiff. It seemed like the compresser wheel was just stuck to the side and not moving because when I tried spinning it would just stop and not move because it was hitting the side. Also during this whole time that I was trying to figure out the prob I saw that oil was comming out of my oil cap along the side. So I replaced the cap and it stopped but Im worried becuase last time it was doing that it was the oil rings and I ended up getting another engine and putting it in and this was only couple months ago so im hoping its not the engine just the turbo thatneeds to be replaced and the oil comming out was just the cause of the turbo.

Did it smoke with the old turbo? If not, then your new turbo is junk. Not junk, but it needs a rebuild kit and needs to be balanced. Its only a inexpensive 14b though so you can get by for awhile not balancing it as long as you mark everything good. See the VFAQ site for more information on this.

if it was fine before the turbo install, and you did not overboost it, then it is probably your turbo

well you guys may be right about the turbo but i was just scared because i forgot to hook up some important things like the wastegate actuator vaccum line and also the boost controll solenoid valve thats what scared me and i thought maybe i blew my motor.

Nah, your motor should be fine. Your turbo is crap though. That isn't much better though . I could disconnect the wastegate actuator completly along with the boost control solenoid and a car would still run right at idle. There is no side effect from doing that either. Nothing to worry about!

well I ended up swapping my turbo to another 14b that I had and when I took off the ported 14b I saw oil all inside my 02 sensor housing. Well just kinda cleaned it off with a rag but in the downpipe I didnt clean it at all and there was alot of oil in there as well. My question is the car still smokes after swapping to a good turbo but most likely im thinking its just the oil that is still in the exhuast system. Will it eventually just burn out and stop and if it does how long should it be because Im getting A LOT of smoke or could it still be something else? .
