I have the same problem and exact same situation, only smokes in between shifts or coming to a stop. I know my turbo seals are blown as well. lol

Its the seals on the turbo. I have the same issue on mine but it only happens when i step on it usually. All the oil gets blown out since im on 22PSI. But the seals are leaking, when you step on it the oil pressure goes up which forces more oil into the housings which is how it burns. It could be leaking on either side or both (like my old turbo).
