Default Help with my RS Turbo (Running Problems)

Hi Everyone,

My car smokes alot on start up (blue smoke) smells of oil and then after it gets warm and ticks over, it isnt as bad, but still smokes, also just drove it round the block as its been sitting for a few months, and it was farting/hesistating/missfire? inbetween 3.5k and 4.5k but after 4.5k its fine and goes, holds boost, which is 12 psi, after 5 minutes of it running around the block, it wasnt hesitating or farting inbetween 3.5k - 4.5k it was fine, now when i pulled up, the smoke was like a bonfire, it filled the street and smelt of oil again oh yeah, done a compression check, and it was reading fine over the 4

Any ideas on what this could be please

Cheers
