Ok so i have just recovered from oil leak issues , but all seems well except when i get into the 5lbs of boost range smoke comes out the exhaust , at first i thought this was just remnence of oil in my exhaust , but then i started getting to thinking that it could be my turbo seals . So lately i just keep out of boost range as much as i can , then today car started running real rough but only happens when after running for a couple minutes but if i shut it off and restart her then its fine for another couple of minutes , my instincts are telling me that my turbo is caputski and that its sending oil into the intake , does anybody have any advice on my issue , thanks
 
shop just installed this used turbo .... gonna have to call em up 2moro , post back up when i check stuff 2moro , thanks for the input ,

do you think that my engine running ruff is being cause by my turbo or does this sound like a diff problem ?

Okay today i got to checkin stuff i don't think the turbo is my problem , it seems that it sumthin else , when i start her up she starts normal , runs well until its up to temparture , then after like 3 minutes at temparture engine starts to vibrate and runs rough , idle drops too , but if i shut her off then restart problem goes away for a minute or so , also the vibration seem to be less the higher the rpms are .
What could this be ? coil , boost leak ....?

Could be a boost leak, but it would be running rough to begin with. But whats up with the Turbo getting checked out? The seals would make more sense
