Smoking on hard acceleration

I have noticed my car smokes when I am on the throttle around 50% or more. I know it is common for a little smoke but I just want to make sure.
Car is an 89 T2, racing beat exhaust and dp, 10psi of boost. Thanks for the help.

your turbo may need a rebuild. is it newer or the same one. it probably has some shaft play and will need a replace of rebuild. also your exhaust doesn't sound too stock and it probably isn't cleaning up the exhaust like it would if it was OEM

102k. I noticed some oil on the hose going into the turbo from above, can't remember where it came from exactly. I assume this probably means a rebuild is necessary or a new one is needed?
