smells like turbo seals

Hi all,

recently noticed blue smoke from my ep82. It doesn't smoke on start up and it doesn't smoke at idle which probably rules out valve stem. if I keep it on boost there is no smoke either but when I let of the accelerator and the revs drop to around 2000rpm there's a bellow of distinctive blue smoke. I know its probably the turbo but what causes this to happen? the was rebuilt 5000 mile ago. would a bit of chatter cause this over time?

thanks in advance.

There are loads of arguments for and against whether chatter has a negative effect on turbo life. Is it still under warranty? You could pop the intercooler and cat/decat off to have a look for any signs of oil

i have the same problem from 3 years ago . i didnt find any solution , i did change my engine twice and changed the turbo seals more than 10 times , but i think the problem from the turbo bearing they are worn out . i didnt not change the bearing when i rebuilt my turbo . but im sure they are not turbo seals
