Thank you for this. I knew that pressurizing the crank case could cause the blue smoking but I thought that I had it vented well enough. Well I didn't. I used your tip about taking off the oil cap and driving and did not have any smoke at all. So thanks to all of you for letting me ask questions and giving me ideas on how to fix it.

Sorry if some of my questions were stupid and elementry. This is my first turbo build and was hoping that I would have more support from kbracing but was getting 1 line answers which is why I had to come here for help.

Thanks again!
