Default turbo smoking?

Alrite my cars been smoking alot lately out of the tailpipe and its getting worst by day. Im confused cuz i check the oil level evey morning before i drive it and its good and the im not loosing any coolant either. The smoke is a dark bluish color. Compression is good and the car pulls hard all the way to redline.....any ideas? Im guessing the turbos bad but I don't know

Make sure your turbo feed line isn't leaking and your oil return is good. If so, then you might want to look into the turbo seals etc...

Seperate the down pipe from the turbo and see if its wet from oil. If it is then the seals are bad in the turbo.

I had the same problems and it was a combination of too big of oil feed line (an4) and a slightly pinched oil return line. If it isn't that I would check the seals next. Sometimes they get caked with carbon deposits. Usually they are pretty easy to replace/clean.
