2.3L 6466 E85 blue smoke when you blip throttle at decel and at idle

Hey guys, just trying to see if anybody has had a similar issue. When cruising or after wot and the car decels, When i get back on the throttle I have a blueish /white smoke coming out the exhaust. Also during cold start it does it intermittently and goes away. Not sure if its from condensation though or cause of e85. I have about 1500 miles on this new build including turbo kit. Car pulls great, compression test results came back as 162,160,160,160. Leak down at 6%,8%,6%,7%. Just didn’t know what else I should be checking for.

Make sure the drain is straight down on the PTE turbo.

I also had to add a restrictor to stop my BB PTE's from smoking. I can't remember the size but I had to go down pretty significantly to stop the smoking.

Thanks, I called PTE and was recommended to install a turbosmart pressure regulator. I ordered the new precision full flow drain fitting and may try a restrictor for now to see how it goes.

Put a .030" restrictor in the turbo feed line.

Ordered a .035” last week. Will update. Took exhaust manifold off looked dry did not look to be valve stem seals. Also removed downpipe and checked back of the turbo. Also looks dry.
