your oil return line not pinched or backed up? is your pan or girdle tapped?
Dude I been trying to learn exactly what is wrong with it from my tuner, but I did not pay enough attention. From what he told me. It was the oil line going into the pan being too much of a angle and thus makes the oil build up and leak out. He tried relocating it in a lot of diffrent angles and then let it run for 30 minutes and said it would not smoke after the second attempt. NOW i got back home last nite from some regular HWY driving and it smoke in idle so much, it was concerning....

What shop did you go to?

I'd try a different shop. I know a guy who owns a shop over there called Performance Factory. He deals mostly with nissans, but give him a call and tell him your problem, or just cruise down there. I think it's performancefactory.com

No offense to your freind, but this is why he should stick to 350z's and G35's.He blew my brand new engine up when he put my turbo kit on the first time on the dyno then sent it to some other guys to do a half as job on rebuilding it.

Back on the subject. I was checking my exhaust and its smokes right up. I have no cat, but it should not be spitting water out for no reason right?? I have water droplets coming out thus I believe its burning water and its STEAM.... that might be coming out. I am pissed. My tuner told me he replaced the headgasket. I dont know whats REALLY wrong now.

If it's only doing the water after initial startup and idle that's probably condensation. If it's after a lot of driving, check your coolant level!

well I am test driving it. Did not smoke at start up this time. Went to my local gas station and let it idle for a good 5 min. I'm on my way back home.

well after 15 minute and a few reasonable revs. Smoke started. What do you think the issue is?? No water though. Temps are perfect. 188 @ 1 point in 90 degree weather.

I recently got my greddy turbo rebuilt since it started smoking at idle after a few hard runs. I also changed the weight of the oil to 10w40 and everything is a-OK now
