Default smoking s2, pls help

hey guys n gals,
me s2 has started to give out blue smoke n i was wonderin if ne1 can help as to why, EVERY time i start her, HOT OR COLD, she smokes (1 puff as if valve stem seals), and i get a puff floating by my window in traffic now + then, it rarely smokes on idle, or overrun, just when i blip the throttle quickly to say 1500-2000 rpm.
new turbo?valve stem seals? rings?

did a comp test a few weeks back and the dry test was 150 + wet test was 160, constant through all cylinders

Piston Rings or maybe your Turbo

Any noise at all?

take off the inlet hose to the turbo and check to se if theres much play side to side in the shaft

theres not much room so you have to take off the top turbo hose to the intercooler



this is mine when i started stripping my down, as you can see i had a MAJOR water leak

ooops.... forgot to say, i had the same problem on start up (puff of blue smoke) it was the valve stem oil seals!!! i'd try these first as are a lot easier to do than rings etc...

hope you get it sorted.
