Mobile 1 oil?

Anyone else have a problem with mobile 1 oil? I installed a turbo kit in my car and filled it with mobile 1 full synthetic 5-30w (weight recommended by works motorsports). After install I got smoke through the exhaust. I couldn't figure out why.

Took to a pro tuner and they did compression check, leak down test, checked the valve seals. Everything is good on the motor side. As a last resort they ask what oil I'm running and they say a lot of Subi motors have problems with mobile 1. Fill with motul race oil and no smoke.

Just wondering if anyone else has cone across this problem?
