Just had the turbo unit replaced on my car and the garage are having a major problem stopping the smoking, which they think is the residue of oil after the old turbo failure. They have replaced the turbo, cleaned the particulate filter, sent the intercooler off for professional cleaning, and even had the exhasut off and left it to drain overnight. Its not pulling any oil through, so they think it is simply residual oil but this is the third day of warming it up, letting it fast idle and then letting it cool (and repeat). It runs fine except for the smoking but I am loathe to take it back until it is runing cleanly.

Is it just residual oil or is there something more sinister here?
