yes it is at idle lol cruising is fine as far as a can tell. I just thought if it was the seals it would do it all the time?
Dejavu?
No. If it smokes at idle and stops with revs its seals. Not completely typical with other makes and models however this is the reoccurring issue's symptoms on our cars.

Looks like mine one could have been fixed by $25 in the state ?
lol a bit huh, cool thanks was just getting confused because my mechanic couldnt find any oil in the turbo at all. thanks for the help.
PS i know, not sure why it sounds so crappy lol, the exhaust does his the inner chrome seal thingy at the back so it rattles a bit, havnt bothered about fixing that yet

I've also tried a similar breather pill and also a banjo bolt restrictor with no success
Can't see your mods because I'm using tapatalk. I've read the PCV fix will help maybe also bnoon bolt. The other thing ive read is to try raising idle rpm. What grade of engine oil are you using? Some oil viscosities are apparently better suited for our engines and less prone to smoking.

These things may buy you a little time but at the end of the day the seals are still crap and you need to replace them. Was running full synthetic oil from mazda. Also tried 15w-40 but made no difference
Like the panadol adds, I only experienced temporary relief.. then had to go to the doctor

Mine started smoking!
Now the wait on the new turbo starts
What about upping the idle to 900/1000?
That combined with thicker oil and bnoon bolt or something seems to work for some people, some need to do all 3, some only need 1 fix.
But yes, it will only 'mask' the problem...
I think im going to up my idle to 900 once I put my DP in just to tie me over till a new turbo (I dont smoke yet)
what does upping the idle do?

From stock, to GT3071, to substantially less modded, many lessons learned!

Yes, supposably upping the idle slightly increases the idle vacuum pressure (think someone said it goes from 8 to 11psi or something around 1000rpm) so it effectively masks the smoking by pulling oil from the turbo at higher pressure at low rpm (less to seap through the seals).
Most guys seem to say this in conjunction with the bnoon bolt / thicker oil "stops" the smoking, but it depends if your seals are already stuffed then nothing will really help
