Ok, so my GST is blowing smoke, lots of it. Grey thick smoke. I'm still new to the dsm's but it may seem like turbo is blown. It does'nt pull anymore and it lags. A local tuner shop said it was blown. I dont know but here are some pics maybe some one can tell.

Yep. Same here.

But yeah, its probably the oil seals leaking oil all over the place. Take off the MAS and see if there is oil in the compressor housing. My 14b had the same thing happen. spooled about 3 psi, spit smoke everywhere. No good.

Its time for an upgrade.
 
could possibly be blown turbo, but it could also just be a oil leak. my valve cover was getting loose and letting out oil which made my car produce the same smoke. so check out your engine for oil leaks, sjops will just tell you your turbo is blown so they get the money to "repair it".
 
it could also be because you increased your boost high and than lowered it, my friends gsx has done that before.
