Bad oil control rings or bad oil seals on the turbo.

Most likely the turbo is going out as this is commonly the problem when there is smoke on deceleration.

A quick test for the oil control rings is to rev the engine 5000rpm (or so) and hold it there for a few seconds. If the car starts smoking then this is a good indicator your engine needs rebuilding.

You could also have an issue with your tuning if you have anything that is tunable or you could be using too much premix...
