Default MK1 RS smoking on gear change

So my RS was smoking on over run and when changing gear when i was boosting it. So I changed the turbo which turned out to be goosed..

Anyway the car is still puffing out white/ grey smoke on gear change when I give it the oats but not on the over run.

Any ideas as it's getting on my nerves now .

Car is de-catted if that makes any difference

you prob still have some oil in the system mate.

Give it a proper blast to clear it all out or flush out the intercooler as you more than likely have oil in there. Check the breather too

Seems the norm with RS's from what i have seen. Get yourself over to, Imperial Blue RS Owners, on Facebook.

Most MK1 RS folk are on there, past and present, and will answer your questions should you have any problems. A lot of knowledge on that page
