I installed my 14b and now after I am idling for a min. or two it will smoke real bad for like a 50 yards when plling out. I first thought valve stem seals, but it never did this with my t25. The turbo I installed was in good shape with no to little side to side and none in and out. Thanks for the help in advance
 
Well, check your coolant. That also runs through the turbo.

Anyways, since it started after the turbo install, it has to be turbo related. Chek to make sure no lines going to the turbo are kinked.
 
Coolant is good, none in the oil or anything either. I did a boost leak test and there is a hissing sound that sounds like it is in the engine and coming out the exhaust manifold. I will pressurize it up to 15LBS and withing 10 secs it will lose all pressure. So maybe the turbo seals are bad, I am not sure any help would be great. Thanks alot! Also the car pulls pretty hard.
