Default Turbo on its last legs ?

Right chaps and chapetts,,,

On tickover after about 5 mins i will get a puff of blue smoke when i rev it a tad, On normal driving i dont notice any smoke but it seems not to be making full boost , anything from .6 to .8 bar where as before it was straight to .9.. The car seems to hesitate now on boost where as before it did not,.
The car is a wrx blob with a full decat and high flow filter and a bailys bov (yes i know they are shyte) apart from that its pretty much standard,.

I am swaying towards the turbo dying but what are your thoughts
