Not a clue whats got into my car lately..! Still lacking boost at top end.. Seems to work better when the engines cool.. And last night I started it up and pooof oil smoke from the exhaust.. I drive it & it clears but when it's stood ticking over smokes like crazy!
What's up with her?!
Sounds like the turbo seals are on the way out mate
could be oil breaking down getting to hot /thin passing the seals ?
what oil are you using ?
also what boost you running and turbo spec?

Cleaned your breathers out lately? Could be a blocked breather.

Or breathers piped up wrong, rocker cover needs to breath to atmosphere and or through the inlet manifold via the one way valve.
