Drain looks fine.
Whats your oil pressure at?
Are you using a fram oil filter?

Also what turbo are you running and how much psi, if its ebay and u r running over 15psi i wouldnt be surprised that it is smoking. Also im not a fan of the adjustable restrictors just my 2 cents. Also is your turbo sucking the air in front of that alternator or is it below it and the picture is deceptive?

They flow like complete shit and cause ultra high oil pressure.

Interesting read that confirmed what I always knew about Fram's crap. BTW sidenote the KNN filter is just Mobil 1 filter with a 1" nut on the end for easy removal and provisions for safety wire.  ;D

Whats your pcv setup

What size feed line?

And we're going to need a better picture than that. The drain line itself may be ok, but the angle of the turbo might be off.

Whats your pcv setup

In other words are you using a catch can or just stock pcv system?

feed line is 3an with that adjustable restrictor and as for the pcv system, both pcv and vc port to catch can inlet and just a breather filter on the outlet of the catch can. the angle of the turbo is not straight down but kinda clocked a little bit.

The way you decribed the pcv system it sounds like you still have your pcv valve there. If so you need to get rid of that shit

Ok well then you need to do a few different things. First  get rid of the adjustable oil restrictor, then fix pcv setup, after that punch yourself in the nuts, once done with that you need to post porn before anyone else will help you any more
