smoke at full boost

here is the problem. the smoke is blueish white, it only happens when i do a run and then let off the throttle and then it is only a large puff and dose not really stick around. It dose not smoke at idle only when full boost/ high rpm. now i searched and found out that it could be the pcv, turbo seals, the eninge it self. any others that i am missing? the eninge has about 20k on it. it is a street port done by the pervious owner. now i need to do a compression check, but how do i know if it is the enigne seal that is bad? how can i check the pcv? or the turbos? the oil pressure goes up to like 110 or so at 3k, but after awhile it it goes back to normal, 50 or so at 3k. could bad seals be causing my oil pressure to jump then pushing the oil some where?

it sounds like it is your turbo...but I could be wrong, I would check that first before anything else. I had the same problem with my mr2 and it was the turbo.

Have you changed out the old turbos to the newer set that came with the car yet? I'm hoping that you put in an after market oil gauge since the stock one isn't accurate to make readings, or at least cleaned the contacts at the sending unit before using it.

Blue smoke= oil burning.

Turbos are MOST likely your culprit. mSame **** was hapening to me. Then after a while it would smoke at idle. It was the turbos, no biggie.
