LPT installed, a few issues... (long)

Just installed a LPT in my '92 S. Used parts from an '85 donor car. Car runs and boosts awesome however there are a few issues. I occasionally get intermitent blueish (oil) smoke out the tailpipe (usually when idling or maybe somtimes when decelerating) -- not a lot and it goes away after a short time. It doesnt smoke very often at all either. I feel like if my turbo bearing was shot I would be getting a lot more smoke. The smoke did not appear right after the install. I drove at least 50 miles before I noticed any.
Also, right after a cold start (engine off for at least 20 mins), the car won't respond to throttle inputs well at all yet will idle properly. When I do get the RPMs up then release the throttle, RPMs drop really low and the car barely hangs on. After about 1 or 2 minutes, the problem disappears completely. currently running only about 5 lbs boost, 3 bar fuel reg, white injectors, stock NA exhaust sys with no cat.
Thanks a lot, Duncan
