i had a very small amount of blue smoke coming outta my exhaust pulled over and open my hood to check and saw smoke coming from the turbo area and it was getting very hot under the hood so i waited to cool down and drove again. it went away and i was idling for a bit and gave it a lil rev a cloud of smoke started to come out not a big one but noticable.. so i went home after an 1hr started to drive again and the smoke was gone.. under my hood is very very hot what could this be? i just had my motor rebuilt head port and polish apexi intake and exhaust... i could hear my turbo go doo doo dooo like surging could my turbo be on its way out ? thanks guys

doo doo sounds from the turbo ehh? could be trouble!
Sounds to me like your turbo is taking a poop...hehe.
Seriously though, the blue smoke is from oil. and if its coming from the turbo side, and you had just recently had your motor freshened up. Most likely turbo seals
does it only smoke at idle? Does the smoke go away under boost?

yea wen i come to complete stop blue smoke would come out not alot though. the blue smoke is gone now tho. but my turbo sounds like its getting "tired". took it too full boost once 6psi could the turbo still be on its way dead or seals r gone? and wenever i have the clutch down and throw it into neutral and start braking to come to a stop i stall. my idle is around 500-600 rpms seems kinda low ?
the turbo area under the hood is very hot and my exhaust tail pipe has very very hot air coming out is this normal ? there was white smoke coming out from the turbo area under the hood in the begininng but now no smoke at all under the hood is just very hot!
do a search for "turbo death whine" and check out some sound clips/videos...see if thats what yours sounds like!

Your idle should be a little bit higher, it sounds like your TPS is out of adjustment if it wants to stall if you take the load off to brake.
Pull your lower intercooler pipe off and tell us if theres lots of oil in there, though alot of times i've noticed it tends to pool in the intercooler.
