Message '90 TT 300zx 180k miles. I recently had the engine pulled because of my passenger side turbo failing, causing the exhaust to smoke heavily from oil.

List of mods/work done:
turbos swapped (GT600R kit)
AMS manifolds
z1 2.5" downpipes
550cc JECS injectors
'95 Harness
New style CAS(to fit '95 harness)
z1 2.5" testpipes
Greddy Profec Spec 2
z1 Clutch + flywheel combo (550 ft/lb)
dual intake
z1 ECU CHIP(dual, 555cc, 93 octane(only 92 octane available, timing will be changed, although not changed yet)
Most oil/water lines replaced
Compression tested at 165 ±5 all across the board.

CAR HAS NOT BEEN TUNED YET (besides new ecu chip)

Whenever I start the car and leave it running for a bit, I begin to smell oil. If I drive it around/boost around a bit, I smell more of the oil and I can visibly see smoke coming from exhaust.

I am hoping it is just leftover oil burning off, but this is the fourth time starting the car. I have only driven it about 2 miles.

Should I keep driving, hoping that it will go away? Or would it be a different problem... :(
