    I just let it run for about 10 min and I can't get it to smoke..... what the hell! No oil in the intake piping either. Turbo was pretty clean. Now it has a miss at idle.

    Start pulling plugs see if you have oil on a particular cylinder causing a miss and maybe help locate the smoking from yesterday

    +1 First thing you should do is pull the spark plugs and check them all. Also check all the wires. Check all the easy simple stuff first. Any codes?
