When doing a compression test should we be looking for the same numbers Bentley states? Or should they be looking for lower numbers since the compression has been dropped from 10:1 to 9:1 or 8:1?
Or should it just take an additional revolution or so to reach the desired compression since the chamber has expanded in size?
It will be lower vs Bentley.
You have a lower peak cylinder pressure at atmospheric so regardless of cranks it will be lower.

If polarity is reversed the pump should pull the opposite direction, correct?
And it should pull the same amount of oil regardless of direction?
Fwiw I ran that exact same ebay pump for a long time. Always worked perfectly for me and I only removed it cause it was ungodly loud.
I run a 4an unrestricted oil feed and had 0 smoke with that pump. I had that pump roughly level with the turbo drain, however I have always run a sump off the turbo. I would run it for 3-5 seconds after shut down and never get smoke on start up.
If you dumped a bunch of oil in your exhaust, it may smoke for some time. I know you said that once hot and idling it is not smoking much, but maybe when cold the condensation mixes with oil residue and burns off with smoke. When everything worked fine before, it should continue to work fine. The only thing that changed is that you did not turn on your scavenge pump. I would never run a manual scavenge pump or electric fan. I have used them only with automatic triggers to eliminate forgetfulness on my part.
Your running the drain up to plug on the front of the vanos unit if I remember correctly right? If so what is probably happening is the oil sitting in the tube when you shut it off is draining back through the pump and filling up the turbo which will leak past the seals front and back when its sitting.
I run 2 electric fans on IGN+, they run continuously. The intercooler is so large that the radiator doesn't get an continuous air flow through it. I was overheating in 100+ weather. The Spump is on at ign + as well
I would have thought most of the oil would have burnt by now or exited the exhaust, especially taking up down the road at WOT several times... I let the car run for sometime when it initially happened until the smoke cleared.
And other than moving the turbo feed line slightly, no changes where made.

No, I changed that out awhile back
That's how its setup now ^

Heres a better diagram:

I don't see any problem with the layout. It worked before. But if you want the belt and suspenders approach, use a small sump under the turbo, a checkvalve in the feed line, a vent line upwards not far after the turbo drain, a pump timer to run it after shutdown and maybe even a checkvalve on the pump output since whatever is in the dipstick tube line will flow back down to the pump and maybe through it towards the turbo.
Years ago while supercharged with a V2, I drained to the dipstick tube stem. To help it drain, I drilled a 5/16 hole all the way through the tube and out the other side just after it entered the pan. That assisted a gravity drain. Not sure whether it would help your pumped drain but it certainly won't hurt anything.
If you can easily access the fitting it would be a good idea to disconnect the drain line from the turbo just to see if the turbo is sitting full of oil when its turned off. If the level of oil in the hose is higher than the bottom of the turbo it will fill the compressor and turbine housings full of oil when it sits turned off.
I guess ill start pulling lines off and see what I can find. Test the pump and see how much its pulling as well.

Huh is your ccv clogged?
Can you feel any pulses out of it?

Pump seems to be moving oil to me

It doesnt appear to be? Not sure how to check if its clogged or not without taking the tube out

Should there be a constant flow of oil out of turbo drain? Because its just spurting out, not flowing

There are pulses in the rubber line before the steel ccv
vent

Ccv vent is working and pump is pulling like before.
Still smoking non stop even when warm all the time

So I think my draining setup isn't as good as I thought it was. Which doesn't really make sense because as I said it was working fine prior...
This was a brave feat... I ran the car with no drain connected to the turbo, very briefly and there was no smoke. Let the oil run into a pan.
Is there a way to tap the pan without removing it? Or should I?
