Default Blue smoke from exhaust

Hi I hope someone can help

I've got a 2005 Impreza 300 edition

I've had the car for 5 months no problems at all and loved the car

I decided to upgrade some parts

Walboro fuel pump
Sti injectors
And respons tmz Bov

When I got the car back it was fine but had a slight flat spot but assumed this was down to the upgrades
I took the car for a remap and an hour later I got a call telling me the car is broken and something is seriously wrong, the read out they could only get from the rolling wrong was 85bhp!!
I have now noticed blue smoke coming out the exhaust on idle
Any body have any ideas and help will be much appreciated
Thanks
Tom

Blue smoke is a sign of burning oil.
Could be a number of things from blown turbo to blown engine/Pistons/piston rings ect
How long did you drive the car with the wrong injectors on before mapping?
Who mapped it and what did the mapper say the cause was?

I didn't drive the car for 2 weeks as had to wait for the remap, I only drive the car to the remap which is 4 miles away

Ecutek done the remap they told me they didn't know the problem and said they wasn't happy continue the remap until the problem was fixed

However I got the car back from the garage today after doing some checks no more blue smoke and seems to be running fine again? I do still have a flat spot but guessing I just need to try the remap again?
Thanks

Hi Tom

Could be anything really? Turbo seals, piston rings, over filled with oil? Did they do a pre-check? Usually this is done before hand to make sure the car can take the punishment on a roll-road or open road for mapping? Was a bit strange they could not find what the problem was as you can usually tell alot from the diag software they use.

You can get an app and an OBD II bluetooth transmitter to diagnose things too.

Was the car given an oil change recently?
