First video is after it has sat for 5 days and also I try and show how I ran my catch can.
Second video is after it's warmed up a little about 75c not fully warmed up but you can see the smoke. Help.

What oil feed restriction do u have on the turbo?

Remove the oil feed line from the turbo and hold it from spinning while starting. I had this problem before on a basically brand new engine and it ended up being just the turbo restriction

It's the one that came with aspec's gt3574r turbo kit, I have the small hole on the restrictor pointing up and the bigger hole threaded in to the turbo.

Idk how that one suppose to be but on my turbos and oil feed lines had the restrictor hole facing down and the -3 or -4 facing up?....

It's crazy how much smoke is coming out of the oil cap!....

I don't think you'll have to pull your engine apart because really no part of your combustion chamber is linked to the oil pan.

Things that are linked to the pan are your turbo, venting systems, and your oil pump.

My bet is on your venting system some how doing this but we've already been through it.

The way I have mine set up on my FB is center iron connected to my intake (little behind my air filter) and the fill neck hooked up to my carburetor vacuum.

This is all speculation of course but I don't want to believe that a freshly rebuilt engine is the problem.

Wow, so your oil dipstick is actually popping out from the pressure?

Hate to say it, but it's possible it is the engine. If the combustion gases are somehow getting past the side/corner seal into (and past) the oil control rings, then I believe this could be the result.

I've seen many cars with crankcase venting issues, and none of them smoked out the fill neck like that, or had their dipsticks come out. That's a lot of pressure.

No need to rebuild. Buy a air filter to replace your oil cap. I thought this was a common issue.

The catch can is poorly setup.Have a look on ausrotary and search user bumpstart as he goes into details of how it should be done.
Next bet would be the turbo try and borrow a good one to test fit.
Also make sure turbo oil drain has a direct downward path to the sump/timing cover.

I hesitate to tell you '100%, pull the motor' at this point.

Ideally you'd pull off the turbo system and check out the exhaust ports for oil, then run the car N/A..... my shop has a header built specifically for this purpose.

The turbo is brand new, I bought it from you goodfellas. The drain line is straight down. Maybe a possibility that the turbo seals haven't set in yet?

No the seals don't need to settle and their already set and balanced from factory.

You got some other problem, how much miles does the motor have?.

Also keep checking your spark plugs for oil build up?...

The motor has about 13k on it and I replaced the spark plugs this morning and it didn't look like any oil was there at all

From me? Shoot me a PM with the particulars.

Dipstick coming out due to pressure IMO cannot be the turbo, sounds like it's the engine. Ideally you want to pull the entire turbo system off and run it with headers..... I suppose you could bolt on a T-4 shaped plate in place of the turbo as well.
