Wow, seeing your hatch and 90CivicEx's cars braking so fast makes me not want to turbo mine.

Hmmm well you can start by removing the plugs and looking into the combustion chambers to see if there is any oil in them (on top of pistons). Are you running an oil restrictor on the turbo? Is it possible its the turbo seals?

sounds more like a blown turbo seal if its leaking oil where the downpipe is open (leak)......that or your valve seals are leaking incredibly bad.

How much have you been in boost?....and is it tuned?

What kind of PCV setup do you have on the motor?

i have seen your car smoking and im at a lose to what its coming from i doubt that its your motor broke it seems like it runs pretty damn good. if i had to guess it would be that you turbo is leaking oil. around idle the oil stays and burns (smokes) and in the upper rpms the oil is just blown out and not given a chance to burn :dunno:. when you get into putting a turbo on a honda especially using used or junkyard parts your playing with fire sometimes you get lucky sometimes you get burned. in coreys case it was very high mileage motor that just gave up, in yours sounds like you just have some smaller issues to work out...

i would suggest eleminating the turbo from the equation, remove it and inspect it for oil around the turbine or evidence that its beens burning oil while its off plug up your oil lines and start the car see if it smokes the same. if it does or to be safe check the compression. i saw when you were at my parents house you had a nice -20hg vacuum make sure you still do. other than that i dont know, just keep doing things to put it back to where it didnt smoke once you do you can find that one thing or things that makes the difference...

i didnt think of this i think i saw a hose in the "intake tube" were the air filter is pop it off and run your pcv system open and see if it smokes...
