Message My Z hasnt been running to well for a while now. It idles fine and drives fine, but under boost it hits 16lbs but doesnt really seem to go anywhere. I have cleaned the MAS, put in new plugs, checked the timing, and checked the ohms on the injectors. I am getting an all clear code on the ECU as well.

I was under the car today replacing the starter (stupid DP made that fun) and ran the car while I was under it. My passenger side turbo area has always had a little smoke coming from it, but I always assumed it was from an oil leak hitting the exhaust (car has been an oil leak nightmare). When I was under it I noticed that there was smoke coming from the junction where the turbo and DP come together.

I am assuming this means I have a bad seal, but is the turbo blown and would i still be hitting 16lbs if so? I am trying to figure out if this is the reason the car has no acceleration under boost or if it could still be something else. Any ideas would be welcome thanks.
