Welcome matey, there is a write up somewhere on this forum regarding that car, for the life of me I don’t know where. Perhaps @DeanMarkTaylor can find it!!!
Get some pictures up and start a log in the technical section

Welcome to the club and be good to see the pic’s when you get round to putting them up.
Been a while, but finally have a weekend off work to man the spanners!!
First up is a compression test! Pointless pulling the turbos if the rings are borked lol!
Picked up some second hand known to be good turbos for it (original 9g’s) so if the compression checks out ok, I’ll swap them and see if it’s smoking after boost issue continues!
If anyone has ideas to try, let me know
Compression test is a good one to start with, cylinder leakdown test is another good one, Generally I believe if it only smokes on decel then the turbo’s are on the way out.
Have you checked to see if you have oil in the y-pipe?
There is a whole other list of things to check after you fix the smoking issue.
Lovely Colour…
Well, there is definitely oil coming out of the rear turbo by looking at the coating in the pipe work!
Doesn’t seem to be in the y pipe or tb though? Only smokes after coming off boost though.
Need more time lol!

Well, today I took the horrid blue with flaky black paint wipers off and have been treating them with a wire brush, some etch primer followed by high build and a top coat of gloss black
Will look much smarter when they’re back on the car!

I so need to do this, I went one further and bought a Compressor and sand blast kit. Gonna be nothing left of my car when I finally get around to sorting the rusty bits.
Lol I wouldn’t dare use that on mine…before I went for my mot and moved the car off the drive I noticed large chunks of rusty metal on the drive at the rear I have no rear crash bar left 
oh well it’s gone off now to the welders several £££s later it will be back hopefully strong for another few years, my wiper arms are good though lol
Lol! Loads of little bits that need sorting where someone has had a go at painting chrome parts black rather badly not realising that etch primer is needed first!
Not difficult to tackle, but time consuming, should be worth it once finished though lol
Welcome @andrew_roy,
Mine had the same issue, smoked after boost. Found the dump valve was not operating proper. WD40 cleaned the dump valve and now no smoking.

Hi,
Welcome to GTOUK, that is a very nice colour.
Cheers,
Neil
Smoking when coming off boost is normally the turbo oil seals. It is where the system is going from boost to vacuum very quickly and a bit of oil gets past the seal before it seats. Usually an early sign of a failing seal before it goes completely. If cleaning the dump valve works as @stevie suggested then try that but if not then checking the turbos is the next step.
I too need to clean and repaint my wiper arms. Orangey brown really doesn’t suit my car
