just as a few to point @ bad breathing, worn piston rings,turbo back seal,valve guides,

depending on HOW much it smokes and USAGE of oil Cosworth were designed to use a bit of oil and recommended you check oil DAILY hope this helps

Its maybe grey smoke and that could be because your car is running rich and gives you a puff when you back off cos all the fuel aint burnt.Map sensor possibly?
