Default Fresh rebuilt turbo...but

I know everybody gets tired of people asking "why is my car smoking" but i seriously need some help on this one.

A couple months back my passenger side went out on my greddy 18g kit. I took the turbo out without pulling the motor; some said it was impossible I then shiped the turbo to bloush performance and did a full rebuild. They said it needed all new seals and bearings because of oil "coking". Just this weekend I installed the turbo back on my car and everything was running good at first start. I took it out for a test drive and boosted it a couple times, nothing over 9psi, and everything went great. No smoke, running cool ect. When I got back to my shop and let it idle it started smoking really bad. We just figured that it was burning out all the oil that and passed by there when the turbo was bad. Prior to this i misread the oil measurment on the big bottles and accently put 6qts of oil in the car. As someone has told me if there is it much oil in there it will smoke. I then drained a qt of oil out of the car and it is still smoking BAD. There is no oil coming from the turbos to the intercooler or up through the throttle body; so it must be internal. I was thinking maybe it was oil on the plugs and maybe it would burn off; but i drove it a ways and it still smokes. Any idea what this could be?

Could be high crank case pressure mate. What breather system have you got??

Also if you have a good breather system it make be wore piston rings that are giving the oil retuns from the turbos a hard time/??
