Ended up being a bad turbo seal and low compression on cylinder 4. Replaced it with a Dom 3 and it ran for 1.5 yrs on that setup before it blew up last week.
hey everyone that knows nothing about turbos lol, looks like the wastegate opened at max boost to release before it overboosts. external wastegates are directly under the turbo.
bov seems to lack the ability to release all of the air in the IC pipes and that caused compressor to surge. that led to bad bearings in the turbo that like to leak oil..... which burns in the exhaust and smokes.....
Bad oil seal on the turb or problems with the crank vent
