Worn turbo, piston rings if on acceleration or valves if on lifting off the throttle I assume it's blue (oil) smoke? Not good really :-(

imported cars cannot run on 95RON theyre mapped in japan for 100RON fuel (huge differance) and when imported they have to be mapped to use 97RON at least to be SVA tests i think
