Blue smoke is oil burning. It could be turbo seals, piston rings or numerous other things. How many miles has it covered?

Some people have found that their FRS becomes "smokey" when they fit a decat, due the the catalyst hiding the excessive smoke due to turbo oil seal failure!

If you are going to take it back to Ford as it is still under warranty, I would recomend that you re-fit your OEM Catalyst.

My local dealership, would not carry out any warranty work unless I brought the car to them in standard form!

I've seen a standard FRS with a Rod that was snapped clean in half, so guess anything can happen..

Probably turbo oil seal failure, worst case the piston rings..
