looks like you have a turbo II also, do you have a exhaust leak or a crack in the manifold?? i have a nasty sounding leak/crack( still need to take off and inspect) in the manifold and sometimes after letting off i get flashes of light the car near the engine bay, then i get a cool lil blue flame out the tail pipe,

You have a air leak in your exhaust,maybe the exhaust /turbo gasket is leaking.
