i would be contacting the "reconditioner" & seeing what they have to say......
Then again having delt with  well know turbo company that supplied a customer a fancy turbo which had been fitted & the engine started 1/2 dozen times in a year whilst other work was being carried out, when it started leaking oil they turned round & said tough,
where is it leaking oil from?

range17:
cant really see ,but looks like it is burning it aswell can see smoke coming out from the housing and the down pipe when i stop and lift the bonnet ,plus some dripping out of the exhaust at the first join undeneath.

Xtremeteam:
it sounds like the "seals" on the exhaust side are leaking, is the engine using oil heavily? when my original tubby died & fitted a genuine garrett one & so far has lasted 3 years running at 22psi of boost

range17:
doesnt seem to be using much oil ,mind you havent done many miles after complete engine rebuild.
