i just finished rebuilding my car and put it back together. now when I drive it down the road when the turbo spools up and it starts to pull, as soon as you let off the gas it dies. and wont restart without some effort. after this happened a few times I noticed that there were large puddles of oil on top of my transmission, and that large amounts of oil are being blown out the breather and the oil fill cap. please help, any info would be greatly appreciated

What are you doing for your PCV system?

Do you have a blow off valve?

basically the previous owner eliminated the stock air cleaner assembly ,which I believe includes the BOV, and so I do not believe there is any BOV now. the PCV is the stock 3- way off the valve cover and the breather line goes to a small K&N breather filter. I had the entire engine rebuilt, rings rod bearings and main bearings. I also have noticed quite a bit of blue smoke out of the exhaust now? I'm just looking for anything but the rings being messed (:. Please help I appreciate your reply thanks.

There is no BOV in a stock Daytona Shelby Z.

Do a compression test and follow by a leak down test.

will a compression test tell me whether the rings are bad or not? could it be anything else? how do you normally break in new rings?

Yes, compression test will tell you the condition of the rings.

Straight vacuum to the wastegate, warm it up, and beat on it. Lots of acceleration and deceleration.
