there's some better info in the forced induction section with actual examples.

found one.

Turbo oil drain problems w/AAM kit

As I understand it, based on the design of the kit, at idle, and likely low rpms, there isn’t enough head pressure from the turbos to return oil to the oil pan, therefore; oil collects and leaks past the seals causing it to smoke.

Edit - I just read that post. That appears to be a different issue than my tuner was having with those kits.
