blue smoke between shifts after ecm link

my galant only smokes between shifts when the throttle is opened after a gear change... the car does not smoke on cold start or at cruise or under load or on deceleration.. the motor is perfect and has 70k on it.. the car also has a new evo316g... the head is newer with about 20k on it so valve seals shouldnt be the issue especially since it doesnt smoke on start up and doesnt smoke all the time... could my issue be related to engine management? the car is untuned.. also replace the pcv valve... any new ideas would be really helpful thanks
 

no its bluish grey and smells like oil smoke... i just put it on a lift at work and i can see oil seeping from around the band clamp in the middle of the turbo so im guessing its a turbo seal now.. super weak lol

Turbo seal lol

fyi there isnt a "seal" like your thinking.... when oil is allowed past into the housing, the thrustplate/bearing is worn down.
any axial play?
 

yes its a real evo3.. i know its not an actual seal..and there is just normal axial play
