I have a my02 wrx with a superchip(i know) and a full magnex decat.The problem i have is that when it is ticking over blue smoke is coming out of the exhaust.Its not excessive but you can see it. The car runs fine and has done 12000 miles not all hard. Any suggestions please.

Blue smoke at idle is not turbo related but piston or cyliner head related. Turbo smoke is usually "white" ie oil burning in hot exhaust related.
Suggest you get a compression or leak down check done.
