Dooooooooooooone!!!!
Started at about 11:30 this morning but finally finished the install around 8:30 or so. We were "done" around 4:45 or so but the we started to get smoke....still haven't figured it out for sure but we're pretty sure it was just oil and other assorted **** burning off of the turbo....got the oil returb hose running above the radiator along side the intake pipe for now, not the best position but the only way we could get her in there. Will have pics up soon but i've only knocked about 15 miles off the 600 so i've got just a few more before i can get on it. Questions/comments/opinions, etc..... all welcome!!!!
(Bipes, basic greddy kit with etd crossover and turbosmart VTA BOV if anyone was wondering.....and yes it's idleing fine....if not better somehow.....then before the turbo even with the VTA and stock ECU)

If the oil return hose is actually above the radiator, then you oil is not draining out of the turbo, and that's what causing the smoking. You need gravity on your side: the oil return hose should all be a slow downhill travel for the oil. If you have any high-spots or quick bends, it won't drain.

good to hear, yet another greddy out on the road
yea as others posted just check the drain line and make sure it keeps gradually going down. should be a simple fix if thats the problem, and also might want to look into tapping the oil pan...... just if you do that BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO NICK THE OIL PICKUP LINE. cant stress that enough cause when the bit grabs, it does so well. a guy recent messed his up.
good luck

I can't really see another way to route the line that's not coming extremely close to the belts, which scares the **** out of me......detailed pics (posibly even a vid) of the routing would be more than appreciated (it stopped smoking now i can smell something burning every now and then but i think thats the plastic that we seem to have forgotten to take off of one of the silicone couplers (smells like plastic more than anything else)
