no smoke and it holds boost perfect, when its idling at 1500 it sounds really loud, everything from the engine bay is loud
 
If you check your turbo and it has a good amount of shaft play in/out it can cause white smoke. If you find oil in the turbine housing you ###### have a blow turbo. After you check your turbo, you want to do a compression test. I had a blown turbo with white smoke, and i thought maybe it was the head, but after i swapped my turbo, I realized that it was just the turbo.
 
yea i havent done a compression check, there wasnt a lot of oil, it was just a small amount prob been there for a long time, no shaft play whatsoever, then again the oil line on the top is leaking because the idiot that rebuild this engine didnt do much stuff correctly, example new timing belt, its loose as can be, oil line on bototm of oil pump going to turbo, wasnt screwed in all the way, same with the top, didnt put ignition coil pack were it belongs, either the egr valve, and no thermostat, cracked the flange on the downpipe and put adhesive to fix it
