I spent some time on the car today and things seems different and overall better. Im not sure if any of this made a difference, but this is what i have done. I soaked the injectors in sea foam last night and I have been running a triple dose of standadyne additive. I have driven the car about 10 miles very hard over the last 2 days. Now the smoke only comes when the car is fully hot and it's not smoking nearly as much. Furthermore, the smoke doesn't seem quite as white. It's more grey now, and I don't smell the concentrated diesel smell as much. I held a glass jar up to the exhaust but it did not leave anything in the jar. I also disconnected the turbo down pipe from the turbo to see if it was wet with oil, which it was not, but I'm thinking that it might be fully atomized by that point. How do I tell if the turbo is the culprit? I also disconnected the crank case breather tube from the turbo air intake and that may have helped a little as well.

Just noticed the wvo note on your post. It appears the fuel system cleaning might of helped a lot. Perhaps more cleaning or getting the injectors actually checked for spray and pop off might be an avenue worth exploring further.

I wish I would have noticed the wvo possible use earlier.. You might want to clean the rings out as well. Miracle mystery oil or whatever soak for a few days. A lot may depend on how long the engine used wvo perhaps. Plus how it was used if it was.
