Was it doing the same before the rebuild?
do you have an oil inlet restrictor?
so to clarify: the pcv is normal, however the breather line on the driver side it just a filter?
Does it happen at idle? driving? boost only?
80psi compression? idle oil pressure? or in boost? should only be like 30psi when warm and idling.

your always gonna get more than usual blow by on a fresh forged piston build.....you MUST return your PCV/breather setup back to stock operation to get those blowby gases out of the block properly....i know many guys whove had smoking problems with the filter on the "breather" and smoking went away when they ran a hose to infront of the turbo.

before the rebuild it was huge ammounts of smoke do to bad piston rings

not sure

yes breather has a filter.. not sure about the pcv
Does it happen at idle? driving? boost only?
revving not at idle and under boost
80psi compression? idle oil pressure? or in boost? should only be like 30psi when warm and idling.
ill have to ask the engine builder about the specifics on compression and oil pressure.. my gauge is shot...they said it looked good though after the rebuild

there has always been a big debate on how to treat a freshly rebuilt or brand new engine. Once it has warmed up and idled at operating temp. a couple of times, all is fair game (that's just my opinion). I have gone to school for building racing engines for NASCAR, and that is how we did it before we made dyno pulls. Break it in on how you think you will treat the engine for the rest of it's life. If you're going to drive it like grandma on Sundays before church, break it in like that. But, if you plan on beating the **** out of it and driving it like it was meant to be driven, whip it's *** from the get go!

Ok I keep hearing people saying you must route the driver's side valve cover vent pre-turbo or else all hell wil break loose. I'm not denying it, but I don't really see the big deal. I certainly could be missing something.
If the intake manifold is connected on one side, won't this provide vaccuum, except underboost when the PCV valve closes (or it should)? What's the point really of having another vaccuum source sucking on the VC? Is this only an issue under boost?
Due to changes in my piping I had to install a filter on the driver's side. I guess I'll see if it causes any problems.

The filter will only be an issue if you get too much crankcase pressure. Then you'll find oil in your engine bay, maybe on your turbo, and if it's hot maybe some fire. Running it to the intake tube, encourages the gases in the cc to be removed (vacuum) and reintroduced to the combustion process for emissions purposes. It also provides a good avenue to catch any oil that might get by the cam cover vent chamber. There are plenty of turbo'd cars that just run that vent line to a can with a big filter on it. After all it is crank case PRESSURE, so it will find a way out.

Too much crankcase pressure can come from what? Faulty PCV valve? Blow by on the rings?
When routed to the intake tube on my car I saw no evidence of oil anywhere in the intake or IC piping. So I would assume I should see nothing coming out of the filter. I've pretty much shut the door on emissions at this point, so that isn't an issue.
Someone said something about helping the rings seal better and helping the turbo drain. Is this also an issue?
