 1GGTE - Blowing smoke

Hi.
I put a new signgle turbo on the 1G running 1bar and have noticed that shes a bit smokey!
It's hard to explain, but here goes - basically when u get up it, it starts to emit small amounts of white(gulp) smoke, but when u change gears then hit the throttle again a large amount is suddenly released created a rather large cloud.
In other words normally not smokey, but under extreme conditions; especially if going quickly through the gears it smokes.
So whats the verdict, turbo seal? head gasket?
I'm not sure as i have never experienced thses problems before and I lack wisdom 
Also note that she is running smooth and well apart from that, and the power increase is brilliant  Thanks in advance guys

Sounds like turbo seals.

Sorry to be a pain but i dont want to replace the seals on the turbs if I don't have to...
Given the symptoms, could it possibly be blow-by or worn valve stem seals or something of that nature?
If left in neutral and revved hard no smoke is evident, but under load (while actually driving) once you get up some revs, smoke will start to slowly come from the exhaust. This happens even at very low boost, and it seems to be getting worse.
Once again sorry for the persistance, but i cant afford to get the turbo rebuilt than find out that the problem was something else - Any advice is appreciated

Smoke under boost = turbo seals or rings.

I have read somewhere that not having an appropriate restrictor on the oil feed line can cause trouble. I have a banjo fitting on my oil feed and the hole on the 'ring part' is only about 2 or 3mm in diameter. I would assume that this is not too large..
Any thoughts?
