Welcome to the site

Sounds like a problem with the install. Is the turbo spooling up quick on a throttle snap? If it wasn’t smoking prior to the refit, it would seem oil is bleeding for the seals..

when i was driving it started smoking, i shut it down, after inspecting the turbo wheel was messed up, so i in stalled new o rings top and bottom on the pedestal.,i put in a new cartridge with a wicked wheel. after cleaning everything up. did a oil change with filter. it took awhile to start, but when it did there was no smoke. on the test drive it had no power and started to smoke a little. thats where i'm at now. any ideas on procedures i should to trouble shoot it

Took a while to start?
How much boost pressure is producing? You can hear the turbo spooling up?
