Few problems, smoking turbos, boost controller readings.

So I found out that the car I bought was having some boost problems. Turns out they tried to make it non sequential and I guess gave up so it was half and half. I finished making it full nonsequential, added a greddy profec b spec 2, and added a apexi power fc.

Last night I finnally got it all bolted together except for 2 things. the oil return line closer to the front of the car wasn't even close to lining up. I know the hoses are flexible but it was COMPLETELY off, and 2 of the bolts on my downpipe wouldn't bolt completely on. I finnally managed to get one of the bolts into the oil return line but couldnt get the 2nd and could get one more of the downpipe bolts in but there is one that I cannot for the life of me tighten down. I started it up (after much frustration, I've been driving auto for a few weeks and forgot I need to push in the clutch ) I fixed a few exhaust leaks and soon after the turbos started smoking. The oil return line is leaking but it is extremely slowly and I don't think that is what is causing the smoking. The only thing I can think of is the oil line on top of the turbo must be loose. The smoke is white and doesn't smell like coolant, has weird smell to it. It gets thicker as the engine runs so I am assuming that it has to be an oil leaking that is slowly burning.

I do not have a boost gauge but I do have a Greddy Profec B spec 2. I haven't set gain or anything on it but at idle it reads at like -75 - -80. Certainly this can't be mmHg.

Oh ya, and my speedo and tach arn't working, I think I just forgot to plug something in though.

Sorry, I always type to much. Thanks for your patience.
