well lately a have seeing blue smoke and when i reverse i can really smell burnt oil like its coming out of the exhaust

and also its holding 5psi then dropping to 3psi and am having boost spikes not often tho

17963 P1555 Charge Pressure Upper Limit exceeded

does this sound like turbo??

heard could even be a sticky actuator

best way to check take t.i.p off and check for play in the turbo??

Blue smoke is a symptom of burning oil. Could be turbo or even valve stem seals, though the fact you have no boost isn't a good sign but could be unrelated, i.e. that error sometimes points to a defective N75: http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/17963/P1555/005461

I'd check that all pipes are connected properly and try another N75 if you can, but may also be worth looking at the turbo too by the sounds of it.
