If it smokes at idle you can try this and only briefly.
Run the motor for a bit to lubricate the turbo. After that open up the wastegate completley to bypass all exhaust pressure off the turbo turbine. Then put something in the compressor wheel that wont hurt it, to stop the compressor wheel from rotating. Then go ahead and remove the feed from the turbo and plug the feed line. Run the car at idle and see if it still smokes.
Generally once oil has escaped the turbo, its too late and reducing oil to it wont help. I run a .110 restrictor on mine, with source oil pressure at 15 at idle and 80 psi at 8500 rpm.
