update: still at a loss. I have replaced the turbo, done leak down tests on all cylinders 3 times each ( all is very good), changed the pcv back to the factory one... and still have smoke, lots of smoke from the exhaust. After running it, i pulled the spark plugs and stuck a camera in each cylinder.... plugs are dry, and all cylinders are dry, no oil, no liquid..... ???

Blown head gasket. It’s the only thing that makes sense.

That was what I had initially thought when this first occurred. I guess I need to take the turbo off the manifold to see if the oil is from the engine, or from the turbo either not draining or over oiling....?
so, i took the exhaust manifold loose, put towels under it and ran the engine for awhile. no oil came from the exhaust manifold. I did notice that the smoking got quite a bit less as i ran the engine. Im thinking that the oil that was in the cat and the exhaust was burning off. still looking like it was the turbo dumping oil into the cat.... ???
