FROM WHATS SEEN, WHAT COULD BE WRONG?
I have been debating on just buying another turbo to fix the smoke problem but from the pictures I've posted what could be the problem? That's white smoke not blue right?

Is your feed line going straight to your turbo without a reducer?

the drain...... fix that kink first.... hopefully the seals will reseat. the restriction is causing the oil to back up therefore flowing through your turbo seal. it is evident with that oil on the compressor inlet. the smoke is a sign that the seal on the turbine side is also leaking.... oil gets burnt as it exits towards the exhaust path.....

I agree with the above posting about the kinked drain hose.

+2 for the Kinked hose. Any oil that is restricted from draining back has no where to go so it'll blow seals out faster and it'll also burn through the exhaust. Take care of that to start with, then get back to us. Nice job on the detailed pics.

its the kink fo sho, same thing happened to me and I had oil blowing outta the turbo, all in the intercooler and then comin out the bov, make sure that shit goes straight to the oil pan, nice clear path. check in the piping to see if there is oil. you may need new seals in the turbo now

You want as little curves as possible. It'd be awesome if you could get it do just go straight down, instead of it doing like a 60* bend
