What color smoke? White is water vapor, blue is oil, and black is carbon from running too rich.

where does it smoke from? I ask because I had an issue like this but it was smoking from under the hood/car on the passenger side. I had an oil leak that would run over the dp when the car will come to a stop.

well as for now im sure its blue smoke, and the smoke is coming from my muffler, all my vacum is reading fine, my water level is the same and so as my oil, but the smell is a really bad stinch to it, Its now water smell im thinking its oil. But the question is can it be the turbo or the engine?

How many miles does the car have?

Most likley the turbos are original, could be the turbos on its way out.

stock turbos

It could be stock turbos since they are oil and water cooled. It could be burning both? I have a decent twin (Parallel conversion) if you need.
