Smoking on Deceleration

My TII, after boosting and decelerating, smokes quite heavily.
At first I thought it might be because I was running so rich, but now I have leaned it out and it still smokes the same.

It's a bluish/white smoke and it smells like oil.

I was thinking it could be the seals on my turbo, but when my last motor blew up, the turbo didn't smoke at all?

This just started with my current engine and Haltech install.

Anybody have any ideas what would make it smoke so bad on deceleration?

Right now I'm running 12 lbs. max.

It smokes even if I only boost to 3 or 4 PSI.

I'm wondering if it might be my OMP?

When I installed my hybrid a little while ago, my car started to smoke at idle and decleration.. at first I thought it was the turbo.. then as thr weather warmed up I got a better look at the smoke.. it was more grey then blue.. I thoguht it could have been the omp.. checked it out and it looked fine.. What I ended up finding was a vacume leak.. it wasn't a hughe leak that affected idle much, however it was enough to make the ecu run the car overly rich...

sounds like the same thing i asked you about before.
your answer: J-SPEC

side seals not sealing well at high rpm high boost on decell. is another answer i got on this forum.

mine goes away after ten fifteen minutes of driving after it fully warms up and i clear the smoke once or twice.

Oil control O-rings will do that as well.
