What gasket are you referring to? From what I understand (I've never taken a turbo apart) but the oil seals are a hard carbon substance, not like a rubber o-ring. I don't think you could pinch them.

Both works and the tuner have said it's kinda hit or miss with mobile 1 and subi's. Sometimes it works, simetimes it doesn't.

With no access of data with your tune. If it's a new turbo you should break it in slowly just like your first 1k miles in your cars OM. Think of it as a new car keep the rpms low for that time.

The seal it could be an leaking intake seal or exhaust seal. Or pinched seal in the turbo. I'm my wrx I used 10w30 what it recommends for turbo cars back then. I would check your oil level to see if your actual burning oil some where. If your not losing oil. I would then move to the turbo check see if the turbine is black or if there is any residue in the turbo or any of the exhaust post engine.

It could be as simple as a o2 sensor or mass airflow sensor. If that checks out it has to be a tune issue. It could be running really rich for some reason.

Just changing brands of oil will not cause it to smoke.

How many pounds of boost are you running? Did they change your compression ratio when they added your turbo? Are all the lines running correctly and no leakes ?

Your tune should be vary Light and low boost till your parts are broke in properly then you should tune it a little more aggressively for your application. If your tune is to aggressive with out proper break in you could put to much stress on your regular inturnals of your block and could cause the smoke.
