Default is my turbo on its way out????? escort rst

hi people, car is still driving brilliant but ive noticed that when driving hard and the turbo is under boost, when i go to change gear ie let off the accelerator i get a chuff of blue smoke out the back of the car. Its like oil being burnt, but when the engine is driving hard under load there is no smoke, only when its been on boost and throttle closes? Anyone else had this problem?
