Default slight smoke on boost

After many attempts to solve this,i only have a slight bit of smoke now on boost as you change gear and as you hear the dump valve.its just a slight puff now.what would cause this or is it normal for a turbo charged petrol car.

This is a normal problem on Turbo cars, I have seen even new turbos do this.

A good blast for a few miles could possible clear it.

A smoke screen all the time or on start are the ones to watch out for.
