Hi,
Some advice here would be great.
I seem to be getting a lot of blueish smoke on idle but none when driving and also none when driving hard.
Excessive oil consumption.

Done compression test which came back fine.

Replaced leaking breather pipes (pcv)

Has EML light fault showing lean mixture, delete memory and stays off for about 2 day's.

In my opinion car feels lacking some power.

I'm thinking turbo as my next fix but don't want to keep wasting money.

Any similar issues on here.

Any advice or guidance would be great.

Thanks in advance !!

What were the compression figures?... assuming that they are indeed fine then valve stem seals and/or turbo seal are likely candidates

Turbo shaft play? Excessive oil in intercooler pipes might be an indication to leaking turbo seals..
 
Can't remember exactly figures but all even ish.
I know my way around a car but first turbo I have owned.
I am thinking turbo .....
Blue smoke. More so on start up when cold and stinks of oil.
Don't get any smoke when driving (from what I can see)
