HI Greddy turbo help!

I have the GReddy t618z installed and I have a feeling something is wrong with it. White smoke is coming from my exhaust. A small amount of oil ( a few drops a day) coming from my blow off valve. And when I push the car to the top end (7-8k rpms) there is an awful smell coming from somewhere. Is it my turbo? Or is it something else?

Could be a blown oil seal on the turbo or an installation error .
Is the turbo new ?
What year is your car ?
Is the crankcase venting system plumbed up correctly ?

Very likely a failed seal on the turbo.
