Default Cleaning old oil out of cat and exhaust

I just installed a new turbo and it's still smoking pretty bad due to the oil in the exhaust and cat from the first one blowing. Is there anything that I can use to help the process of getting all of that old oil out of there or will I just have to drive it and let it burn off? Thanks!

You're likely to need a new cat and O2 sensors, but you can try driving it for a bit if you want.

He doesn't have any CELs iirc. So he may be ok.

No CEL's at all. Just a nice smoke show and some stank! hahaha

You can try taking the dp out and spraying some brake cleaner in that biatch if it doesn't clear up. You might need a new cat, though, because oil in it would likely ignite inside of it, which would raise the temperature inside of it and screw it up.
