I was driving up a hill on the freeway and the I knew there was blue smoke and the car was spitting and sputtering. Anytime I get into boost above 5psi my car starts to spit and sputter. when crusing it runs fine. I know I have a blown valve cover gasket now that wasnt there before. when this happend I was at full throttle and pushing 18-20psi.

anyhelp would be great.
 
Does sound like you are burning oil. Check the plugs to see if the are fouled out by oil, it's very possible that they are. Could be turbo seals or the leaking oil tube seals causing it to burn. Boost leak test the car. If you were at high boost when this happened and the car only acts up when getting into boost it more than likely a leak somewhere.
