Smoking turbo update....Yes, I am an idiot.

I had filled the car with too much oil. Causing the oil not to gravity drain from the turbo properly.
After reading more than I care to admit on turbo operation I checked the oil level as a "just in case" and sure enough almost 1/2 inch too high.
Normally I am careful with oil changes, but this time I was in an excited rush since I was finally going to get my car on the road after alot of work (HG, timing guides, drive shaft boots, upper motor mounts). No matter how many times I screw things up due to getting impatient (which has been many) the lesson never sticks.
