It boosts fine still drives great and somewhat goes away while driving (i had a friend follow me to see if it was all the time) and it doesnt smoke while driving or boosting.

So im thinking that my turbos might be leaking a bit cause after checking my plugs they look fine. has anyone else experienced this? what do you guys think?

Sounds like a bad PCV if you still have one. I had a car do this exact same thing, would only smoke at idle and when you let off the throttle after getting into boost. Deleted the PCV and the problem went away. If you still have you PCV just remove you oil filler cap and drive the car and see if the smoke goes away, that will let you know if it is the PCV or not.

I laughed to myself a little when I read this because I was just thinking of all the countless hours we have spent troubleshooting problems on the FD's we have boought and sold over the years(I remember when you were troubleshooting the PCV one). I've had enough frustration with the few a year that I flip, I can only imagine how bad it gets sometimes for you with all the cars you have. I guess we are suckers for punishment... haha.

I have to be a glutton for punishment because nothing else could describe why I put so much effort into keeping these cars on the road. Most dont appreciate it but there are still a few rotorheads left that want to see more rotaries on the road.
