Ok, so the car is basically running pretty well now (tons of $ spent at the shop....).
Has good power, good boost, good oil pressure, running cool, all the leaks fixed (I think), doesn't seem to be using oil, etc...
but the last couple of drives after about an hour of backroad fun driving, it randomly is blowing some serious smoke, today it even came into the cabin very strongly to where I had to roll down both windows.....
the only slightly consistent thing about it is that it occurs on downshifts specifically, and seems to do it on the descent of a mountain road, and after some fairly strong braking (like when you come upon another car and brake and downshift - BTW - I am a PCA track instructor and always REV MATCH on EVERY downshift....).
Car drove home fine from both of these sporting drives, all gauges showing good signs (just like as stated above). In other words the smoke goes away...all very odd....
I will be bringing the car to the shop asap but anyome have any ideas?
Thanks!
