Default Smokin

Please help my series two rs turbo has started smoking, it only smokes on boost driving normally or on ideal she is fine, also a flat spot has developed around 4000rpm in 3rd gear.

Lots of smoke out the exhuast on boost and i also noticed smoke coming out of the turbo or gaskett please see pic below.

I live near gatwick if anyone would like to take a look, beer in payment!!

Thanks

Steve
