Wierd smoking issues

I have a weird smoking issue on the car. When I drive it under boost there is no smoke (except occasional black due to running rich). As soon as I let go and start coasting it puffs out a fairly big cloud of blue smoke. I still have the factory original twins with about 75000miles on them. This just started happening a week ago. So my question is are the turbos on their way out or what? Also should I go with a set of BNR stage 3's or a comparable single? And finally I have a BLITZ smic; will it be able to handle the bnrs or the single turbo or do I have to upgrade to a fmic.

well i can tell you blue smoke is oil. im beting your turbos have bad seals. you can rebuild them your self cheaper then going BNR or Single but if you have the money BNR would be cool but Single if were you big hp #'s are. upto you.

I was fearing the fact that the turbos are on their way out. As for the intercooler question should I upgrade to a fmic or just keep the blitz stock mount?
