I have a friend who is interested but he asked if I could look at the thread and ask a few questions, if you dont mind.

Is there anything else that leads you to believe the turbo seals are bad? Oil in the turbo or intercooler, etc? You would think it would smoke even when warmed up, specially after boost, if it was the turbo.

Also, that's a journal bearing turbo, correct? I always thought those liked oil pressure.

Does it smoke after a few minutes of idling when you rev it up? I know the head is fairly new but maybe a stem seal was installed wrong or damaged during installation causing pre-mature failure? It really looks like the valve guide leaks down after you shut it off and smokes at the next start up.

Is the smoke for sure blue? Not white like a blown head gasket?

Do the plugs show any sign of it being caused by oil or coolant? They may tell you some direction.

Again, not doubting you or anything, just have to know this stuff.
