Oil pressure at turbo feed hose

I have oil going by my turbo seal. I am not sure that it is not to high of feed pressure. Drain hose is 5/8 and is on a continuos down to oil pan. But occasionally when I hit boost the car will smoke. Looked on exhaust side of turbo and it appears to be wet. Did not notice any oil in pipes going to intake.

do you have a catch can system? maybe the car is pushing oil and burning. Not necessarily the turbo itself. Is there shaft play?

If it's a ball-bearing turbo you need a oil restrictor. If it's a journal bearing all you need is a -4 feed.

Is the turbo feed and drain straight up and down?

It's not the oil pressure it's the motor something internal. Broken ring lands I suspect. Camaro from hell.
