Is there new exhaust? How many miles since the kit was put on?

Actually it can smoke too when some what being cold out, though not as much and also goes away.
I don't or won't consider it to be a issue until it is smoking all the time, having no cats and running boost I have always been aware or extra smoke from time to time.
So you drove for 10 mins, do you let your car warm up before you drive? What is the temps outside? Does it always smoke? Or does it eventually go away? Does it spit anything out of the tail pipes at idle? Is there build up or oil in the pipes?

Also I wasn't thinking you had too much oil, just that if the turbo oil seal was ruined it would be spitting/accumulating some oil in the exhaust.
Huh? You only put 4 quarts of oil? Doesn't stock require 5? I use 6 because I have a oil pan spacer.
Oh and I def. wouldn't be putting less oil in my car.

whoever said valve seal,,,,,no.
sounds like the turbo oil seal is gone.
also, you don't want to run too little oil.
run a MINIMUM of 5 quarts! if you have a spacer, 6!
too much oil won't affect the turbo like that. And I don't think you'd be spitting it out the exhaust either.

If the engine and boost are running fine your motor is not "blown".

We have had to fix some self installs and one thing that has been common in them is the installation and wiring of the oil pump, check that to make sure it is correct and also make sure the connections are good and cannot come undone.
Being a used kit you run the danger of having a bad turbo seal, also which check valve do you have? The later selonoid? or old version check valve?
