Default efi turbo problem

hi all
im after a bit of advice please,,ive just converted my efi escort cabby to turbo using a fiesta turbo engine,ofac ecu with a 165 chip.
ive got it running but it smokes (blue/grey)and smells oily and if i lift the oil filler cap i can smell petrol in the oil
there dosent seem to be any knocks or anything but it is a little lumpy

just wondering if this sounds like engine or just a fueling problem that would cause it

thanks in advance
mick
