Default oil pressure too high???

I took my rear mount off and front mounted it and now when I get on it it smokes like CRAZY. So I put a nos jet in there at about .050 (3/64) and it helped a little but its still way too bad. When I had it on the rear it didn't smoke at all. I would put a smaller jet in there but I don't want to burn up the turbo. What do you guys think I should do? (I've already spent alot of time in the search section)

Thanks

How high is it and what weight of oil do you run. With 20 w 50 and a -4 feed without a restrictor to turbo it sits at 55psi idle and peggs the guage at WOT. I thought that was normal.

oil presure is at around 40 when warm and idleing but thats not the problem problem is when I get on it it leaves a big cloud of smoke behind me. and I know its not the turbo because it didn't do this before I swithched it to the front.

Sounds like it could be tuning related and running rich. What color of smoke is it? I get lots of smoke behind me too but it's usually the tires.

It's blue smoke and it only happens when I get on it and the oil pressure increases. I took the one way valve off the sts setup when I switched so I think im gonna put that back on and see what happens.

You might getting oil into the intake from crank case pressure. Are you running more boost than before?
