Default blue smoke amongst other things

Hi Chaps,

Brand new to scoobynet so hello all!!!

I bought a 95 wrx import in dec and love it to bits always wanted one and now that i have one im not disappointed, however if the car has been idling or driven off boost for a while and then boot it i get a puff of blue smoke when easing off also dunno if its connected but when on boost i get an initial kick and then a second boost is this normal? bearing in mind its done that since i bought it. Is the turbo on its way out? oil seals? sorry for the stupid questions but im here to learn.
cheers guys and gals

I think a faulty turbo gives off White smoke rather than Blue.
Blue smoke can indicate worn valve stem oil seals.
