Blue smoke from exhaust going uphill

[AustinGRSupra]

Noticed this last night. Oil smoke. But from where? Diagnosis?
Turbo?
Anyone else had this? Car has 30k miles.

I'm 2/3 of the way there... or will be in a few days (19.7K miles). But I'm on stock tune so not apples to apples.
@AustinGRSupra : what oil are you running and is this when fully warmed up or earlier on in the drive?

Yup sounds like Turbo is KIA.

OP, what oil are you running, how frequent are the changes?

Also, what other mods? You said 93 tune....but are you running factory Down Pipe?!

That all checks out. Theoretically nothing should have caused a turbo failure this earlier unless the car has been loosing oil like crazy and running low during high output.

Any other symptoms?
