smoke at idle and high revs

ok i have a problem with my car

mods:
apexi cat back
m2 downpipe
non sequential conversion

symptoms:
bluish smoke at idle
big puff of smoke when revved
big backfires at high revs(not sure if this is normal in a rotary or not)
5 pounds of boost

my problem is i have lots of smoke when a rev my car and a little bit come out at idle...smells like oil im thinking its something to do with the turboes maybe they are starting to give up on me...anyone know a way to check for blown turboes?anyone know what is wrong with my car?

HOLY SILICON BATMAN! Get a throttle body o-ring pleassse. As far as the smoking goes, I have smoking turbos as well, and oil all the way up to the throttle body is sign that the oil seals in the turbos are gone. Are you getting slight amounts of smoke near the turbos?
