hopefully the smoke is just some tuning adjustments and nothing more serious.

It's either running extremely rich, or it's a bad seal on the Garrett turbo. I'm sure it's tuned extremely rich for the fear of detonation so I highly doubt it's the brand new turbo(s). I had a similar experience with my last car, it turned out to actually be the seal and it would smoke like a truck at idle and you could SMELL oil coming from the exhaust. Also if the smoke is bluish that's another indicator it's a seal.

A normal running car with no cats would have pure black or a white/black look from condensation built up in the exhaust depending on how rich the tune actually was. Good luck, keep us updated.

Does the smoking happen periodically when at idle? What size oil restrictors are you running to the turbos? The ball bearings do not require much oil so the restrictor orifice might be too big.

Not sure how your exhaust is set up, but if it has a center cross over muffler, you run the risk of getting oil mist in there and it will take a long time to get the oil out.

.0035 is the restrictor in the stage 2 kit. I'd presume the stage one is the same.
