i got lots of white smoke coming out of the tail pipe! i don;t see any water in the oil! what could this be? i put a new elderbrock carb on ,would this have made it blown a head gasket?

When I was going to buy a olds powered buick, if you're talking about the car in your sig, it had the same problem. Talked to a bunch of guys on the board in the lounge and a lot of times it's the intake because they tend to corrode beings they're aluminum. Had the same thing happen on my old 86 tpi camaro. Just a thought.

Maybe turbo seals.

crankcase pressure build-up...maybe from backwards check-valve, or vacuume lines?? turbo oil drain backed-up (pressure).,...out the exhaust the oil goes?

I've never had a carb/turbo car.

Never mind.....I guess this isn't a T6.
