AFTER RUNNING THROUGH A FEW GEARS UNDER FULL BOOST (STOCK 1G) I GET A LITTLE SMOKE OUT THE TAIL PIPE ON DECELERATION, IS THIS NORMAL? NO SMOKE DURRING BOOST ONLY AFTER.
 
Could be the seals on your turbo, possibly rings or valvestem seals. Id check by looking for oil around the turbo (especially underneath) for bad seals (check for shaft play while your at it).
 
There is some oil on the turbo but I have been fighting a valve cover leak so that is where I thought it was coming from. If it is coming out of the turbo where would it be coming from? most of the oil is arround the air filter side of it where the stock intake tube is clamped on. again I'll take some pics so you can see. Thanks for all your help.
