vex will become famous soon enough
Initial viewings seem to indicate that the 6in 1/2npt pipe to a 3/4 buffer to a 3/4 45* bend to a 3/4 buffer to a hose fitting have solved my smoke issues. It took me over an hour to install all the parts that cost me a whopping $6.00, but I had to remove my upper intake, the turbo itself and I found out that I can't rotate the cartridge/turbine housing like I should be able to. There's still a few things I need to fix, but all in all it's coming together.

If my problem stays fixed and I continue to not see any smoke I will not have to setup a scavenge system.

For a better understanding of this: I have replaced about 10in of soft line that continually rubbed up against the turbo manifold with a hard line to an oil accumulator which is still above the oil level. This in my mind should allow the oil ample space to return and run back to the oil pan. But like I said, I haven't noticed a problem with it *yet* and if I do, I have a back up plan I can initiate. Will check in the morning--just too tired now and apparently have developed an allergic reaction to something.
