car smoking badly

Just put on a full 3 inch exhaust the other night. Car pulls hard. Just today it started smoking bad. It got worse as the day went on. Car still runs good. Pulled off turbo today and there is a ton of oil in the inlet, and the intercooler piping. Pulled spark plugs and they look fine, just normal carbon deposits. So hopefully my conclusion is correct and it is the turbo. Any other opinions guys?
Thanks
Btw car is a 87 turbo II
full 3 inch to N1
rtek7 1.5 chip
intake
walbro 255lph fuel pump

I just put exhaust on my N/A and it smokes when I start it up. After like 30 secs it goes away.

No on both, but I do let the car warm up well. And properly cool down as well
