RCR S2, I technically have the first Stage 6 Motorsports turbo. Dwight built and installed my turbo setup so I would be pretty sure that any flow restrictor will be present. I just took a look and I don't see anything that sticks out like a sore thumb saying "I'm a NOS jet". I have a T piece that comes out where the oil pressure switch was. The switch is now connected to one side of the T and to the other is what looks like something that adjusts the thread size from something larger to something smaller (sounds like a restrictor). Then a narrow braided pipe over to a right angle piece that is screwed into the top of the turbo. I only have the first O2 sensor installed, the other is strapped to the test pipe. This coming Monday I'm getting an AEM EMS installed + injectors etc. I'll be getting a compression check done before we start so I'll be able to see if something is wrong. I'll let you all know if it continues to smoke. For me it does appear to be when I do tight turns. I know the S is prone to that but in the case of a turbo isn't the breather pipe to the intake manifold disconnected so that you don't get positive pressure in the valve case? Maybe its just a shift in oil pressure which is enough to cause the turbo to leak a bit.

Derryck,
It never runs higher than 700 degrees C, typically much lower, and never very high at idle (which you'd expect in any case, I'd imagine). Not sure if that tells you anything, but there you have it.
