Yeah that's a good point. Do the exhaust valve seals show the same symptoms as the intake valve seals. Pedro, found this http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/art...d-block-valve-stem-seal-replacement.html

Jesus, I go back to work and you guys went off lol If he is still running a pcv he should replace that first and take his fresh air vent off the VC and and just get a filter from parts source and put that on. See if that clears it up first before diving too deep into swapping seals and turbos. As stated I've replaced the PCV valve. However, I'll get one of those filters on there this weekend and see how the car reacts. Instead of the inline filter he could use one of those plastic checkvalves, I used to use the checkvalve in line with the PCV to ensure the flow was being properly controlled.
@ Pedro...I have a catch can you can have for $10, just needs a little bit of cleaning and shes good to go.
I shall keep this in mind after I try the filter, although Alex had a nice blue shiny one I might go for instead Thanks Bryan, that's the same article I was reading on yesterday:) Pull the tube off the turbo's outlet. Once you see that it's not caked in oil, you can put this "oh it must be the turbo" issue to rest.
Then continue on to change your valve stem seals. you make it sound oh so easy. I'll take a look at the turbo once more before continuing on to change the valve seals.

I say its your turbo... valve seals usually only smoke when the car has been sitting for a while and the oil has puddles in the piston. Even at idle the oil shouldnt leak fast enough to create visable smoke. But as soon as you give the turbo any load... it will push or pull oil past its seals.
Id say get a bigger turbo while yer replacing the seals. Even if its a 14b. "I'm blowing a bit of white/blue smoke when I move from a stop or when I idle for more than 5 minutes. The smoke is from burning oil. When I drive I do NOT see any smoke behind me while cruising or under boost" You haven't seen sh!t enough valve stem seals NOT to leak at idle. I doubt it's a turbo from Pedro's description.
