Well it looks a blue/grey colour but difficult to tell really. Only really see it on over run and during some gear changes but no smoke on boost. It certainly stinks a bit tho.

When its first started up its fine but then gets really smokey at idle when cold but seems fine when hot at idle, was told by my tuner this is the car burning the oil that had passed into the exhaust as its getting up to temp..
Before I did my first track day I changed the oil, I think it was 5W 30 or 40 (not sure exactly but possibly too thin) but it never used to smoke until that day it started.

The boost peaks at 11psi and holds 10psi running a standard T3 and runs very strong. I have recently changed the head gasket for a Ford one as well as valves/stem seals which were in pretty good condition anyway.
