Sounds like its pulling across oil....
So why did you change it? That may have left oil somewhere to be sucked in!
Is the oil drain from the turbo restricted/kinked as thats a very 'good' way of burning a LOT of oil!

sorry in a rush
i changed the turbo to an uprated one as its being mapped soon
its a tdo5 af 20g turbo
smoked really bad when i turned the key 1st time
now its slighty smoking maybe its burning the oil/ grease inside the turbo as its new, not losing oil as i keep checking the dip stick
only smoking when standing still once moving it stops

OK it sounds like there was oil in it, so it can take a while to come out, the oil seals in a turbo are not like most others and are designed to leak air in rather than oil out, so any restriction in the oil return line can force oil out into the airflow at one end or the other, also such things as restricted intake pipe or exhaust can also cause problems.

Checking the oil return is a good idea, but looking at the first post again, I wouldn't expect it to be this bad, with the car running badly at idle, where oil pressure is going to be pretty low.
Double check the turbo is fitted correctly, and nothing else has been disturbed.
Where did the turbo come from ?
