The rebuild warranty is for 90 days so I got time if we decide to send the turbo back to turbonetics for further inspection.

As the one that is doing the work on this car, I repeat, nothing is for sure yet. It will take a couple of weeks of driving before we know for a fact the the problem has been solved or not. If it appears it has, then additional CC evacuation proceedures will be done. Also, Compression and Leakdown tests have yet to be done.

So I take it a catch can has been helping with the issue? Just curious of the PCV has been changed out yet. I seem to always forget that newer cars still need this and actually just had to swap the one out in my Titan as it was about toast.
Its not over til the fat lady sings

i had the same white smoke. I fixed mine by replacing my oil drain line from the turbo with a Stainless one and using a 90 in the middle of it to prevent kinking, and lead the line to the block.

On Solidsnakes, I installed a 45 comeing out of the block (dump line) and used Aeroquip Blue 5/8 in place of the supplied line---Very smooth transition
There were several mods done after reinstall that are 100% functional yet not dialed in. Main concern was to see the outcome of the overall before spending $$$$ on the final cosmetic details.

well im a bit late but how much oil are you catching in teh catch can? you might be dumping too much oil in the turbo how is the turbo spool? and how did you get the oil in the intercooler and pipes? you might want ot check your exhaust for oil as well.

To tell you my small story, I have the same problem.
Since Oct 06, the car is smoking at every shift under boost.. it never smoke at idle or just crusing.
Now the oil is spilling from the BOV, it is also full of oil in the pipe and at the bottom in the intercooler..
I am using the best best TOP #1 mecanics in eastern Canada, he knows VQ35 like his pocket.. I trust him when he say something.
Right now we purchased 7k of parts to rebuilt the engine, rings were deads and we wanted to forged internals with parts from Sharif ( big thanks to Forged Performance by the way ). First we tought that only the ring were making that oil burning .. see the pic
But we did out brake in for the new forged engine saturday, and at the first press of boost, the white smoke came back.. Now we realized it the turbo.. It look the back pressure that goes on the flap on the turbo when the pressure is rising in the downpipe is making the oil to comes out.. Cant understand the internal problems but I know it's because of the turbo.
We dont use any pan spacer, the return oil line is perfect and no kink. We have a real greddy catch can.. there is oil leaking inside the pipe, in the BOV, everywhere... There is no other thing that could make smokes like that..
I will make a video tomorow and show people on the street what it look likes, maybe with that, TN will give the approval for a mass return under warranty or not. Its not a warranty issue but a defective product and this can be claimed at any time under US and Canadian Laws as soon as they admit the problems. Im not bashing TN, they had given support when needed, shipping a AC hoses in 1 day express, Thank you Reggie.
But right now we have forged internals ( arias, eagle rods, etc ), we got 650cc, a CJ return fuel system, we have ordered the GTK-550 and I seriously hope that thoses turbo wont have that problem, otherwize I will personally take the plane for canada and put the turbo on the boss's desk with a liter of oil inside and make a mess in the office.
But right now im calm, I simply boost and lift the pedal smoothly and this way smokes doenst comes.. its VERY annoying and no way to have fun at all without appearing to be a stupid guy that runs a ruined cars and polute the air.
I will post the video tomorow night, in the meantime, I will go to the army supply shop and buy a gaz mask.
