I need to know all the reasons why a cally turb lump would smoke (blue smoke) only when sitting in traffic for a while??

engine is standard only 46000 miles from new and in mint condition.

running on fully synth..
new oil feed to turbo..
and new turbo supplied by A.E.T.
oil pressure is normal.

turbo has been sent back twice and they say " its alright".

please help as they dont deserve any more money.

since this has been happening for some time, I don't think it's the oil feed (the banjo bolt on top of the turbo). If oil feed was dodgy the turbo would have seized by now, or be damaged beyond repair.
I'd check the breather pipes and the oil return.
Try running with oil level close to minimum and see if it stops

We're assuming here that it's not caused by blow-by or valve stem seals (it's a young engine!)
