smokey Turbo II

I just picked up this 88 Turbo II and it smokes a good amount, on start and when its warm. this is my first turbo 2 but i've owned 2 N/A's and they didnt smoke like this. Anybody got an opinion. The dude i got it off said it might be the seals on the turbo?? Thanx in advance for the help!

At idle and in neutral, rev to 4kRPM for 15-20 seconds.&nbsp Does it smoke a lot?&nbsp If it does, it's the oil control o-rings.

If its the oil control rings does that mean a rebuild?

If it's oil control o-rings, then the whole motor needs to come apart...
