What size oil feed line do you have? What size is the oil return line? The oil return line should be "steep" so that oil flows through it easily. What type of tuning have you done? The smoke could be from extra fuel.

i have not done any tunning...and u say it could be extra fuel...what i have heard and been told so far that extra fuel is not white in color...but the smoke comming out from my exhaust is pure white in color....so do u think it can be the fuel still. i have not touched the tunnig at all so far...the car is at the same tunning it was before i went single turbo....

If your tuning is the same as it was before the new turbo then I almost guarantee that the problem is tuning. THe new turbo is not going to have the same characteristics as the stock turbos. That means that the original fuel/ignition maps need to be adjusted.

I agree with 13BAce that you need to retune for the single, but the single swap should increase VE and make the car run leaner, not richer.

I think your problem lies elsewhere. I might have thought that your problem would be oil burning in the exhaust, but it would normally be blue/grey not white. White normally indicates water getting into the exhaust.

The stock turbos would probably make more power at low RPM's, which would mean that the single wouldn't need as much fuel at low RPM's.

thanks guys really appreciate your help.....but please dont mind i am a complete duffer in this business.....i am in pakistan and we dont have proper tunning tools or dyno here is all trail and error...so i was wondering if you could tell me how to tune my car now after single turbo and how can i increase my car...i was also thinking that my car is running lean cause my o2 meter shows lean also when i am gunning the car......so please is there any way in which i can increase the fuel to my car apart from changing the ecu......

for a single turbo you must change the ecu.
