there is some oil in the down pipe. no the car is not tuned just yet i had just gotten everything together and on the car.. i was just being easy on it till i got it tuned just up and down my street a few times.
the car isn't tuned yet???? they why are you driving it!? I'm assuming you hit boost because you said your on 6 psi. BOOM! If you haven't done so already. Sounds like blown seals in the turbo but who knows now since you drove your boosted honda untuned..:roll:

compression and leakdown test will let you know if your motor is gone. if there is oil in your downpipe; and the turbo is new, chances are your rings are trashed

i think the seals in the turbo may have gone bad or been bad...Does it smoke when youre not in boost?

is your oil return line setup properly? if it cant drain you can have oil going past the seals and smoking

The more information about your kit, and what you've put together, the better. Also, please describe the "smoke". Black? Blue? White? Are you seeing it all times, or just when in positive pressure.. you're not helping your situation of being "easy" on it, until it is properly tuned. 6psi regardless of the turbo size can easily destroy an engine, so watch out.
