So I got my stock turbo rebuilt, and its been sitting for about 6 years inside a shop. We started it up, and its still smoking allot.

Its pushing oil out the dipstick tube also. I changed the PCV valve, but have not drove it yet. It fills like its missing also.

Were should I start with this thing?

Before it was parked, it ran great. Just smoked BAD VERY VERY BAD. The turbo was bad.
 
Classic sign of excessive crankcase pressure. Perform a compression test and post back.
Pressurized crankcase also does not let the oil drain out of the turbo therby causing turbo seal failure and alot of white smoke out of the exhaust. brad
 
That is what its doing. Is it true that only some PCV valves will work right on the hot airs?

PCV valve is not the problem. Get rid of the stock oil fill tube setup and go to a billet fill tube and breather on the valve cover. I went through three new turbos because of this design. Brad
 
Thanks Brad,

Would you be able to post up some pictures of what to get. I would appreciated it
 
I will go out and take some pictures of how the car is set up now, and maybe you guys can see if I have some stuff hooked up wrong.

Thanks Brad, I will go on there and check it out
 
Here are some pictures, I know, I don't have a filter on it right now. I have not been driving it

That kind of crank case pressure could indicate a blown headgasket...blown into the lifter valley...like stated above, do a compression test and that will tell you if this is the case.
