Default Oil coming out my exhaust on the highway

So tonight I delivered a bumper to a fella on here about 60 miles or so across the state border. At highway speeds my oil temperature flirted with the 250 degree mark. If I floored it and when it down shifted burning oil would come out the exhaust. When I was stopping for the toll booth lots of smoke came forward almost choking the toll collector. It did this on the way down and on the way up.


Now 2K or 3K miles ago my turbos blew. They forced a lot of oil into the exhaust, many quarts I want to say 3 quarts of oil is what they found in there. This was way back in February, they were replaced with rebuilt ones. My question is do you think this could be from the left over oil in the exhaust? How long is it going to take to burn off?? Or could it be something else. Water temp was fine. I even had the AC on. Also this was my first long trip on the highway since the turbos were replaced. Cruising I could smell something burning, and flooring is would make some smoke come out the exhaust.

Default No, Maybe I can tomorrow. You mean like put something on the end of my intake and blow air into it?

Ive done it before, when the original turbos started to whine, I never had a leak or anything.

Who were they rebuilt by and have they been modded with different wheels?

Default could be a 1000 or 1 miles or 3000 miles.if you had a boost leak it could happen after pulling away

from whereever you had the turbos done.i hope for your sake its something cheap and easy.

Default It was wierd....

I swerved around someone one day and then I heard this odd noise, it was a loud dentist drill noise. The shaft broke right off one of them, and the other turbo was just junk. It was still driveable at the time, and when I went to take it to the dealer, I was 1/8th of a mile away and thats what the oil went into my exhaust and an extremely large cloud of smoke started pouring out of my exhaust. Bye bye cats.
