Default Blue smoke between shifts?

There was no smoke prior to turbocharging the car.

Another thing; 50 trim T3/T04e A/R 62 hotside... 2.5 L motor, what RPM should I be getting decent boost?
Check the oil drain. It sounds like oil is either backing up in the bearig housing or it's being burned during compression. Might also check to make sure you have adequate vacuum in the PCV system.
