Blue black smoke is an indication of burning oil (ie oil seals going) hot side cracked will still work but not give full power as the fumes not getting turbo up to speed as they are escaping
Hmmm ok, managed to get my hand down there with a small digital camera and take some pictures.. One of them showed a oil burnt resedue and the side of the "snail" where the TIP goes onto. Rest of it seem clean enough.. which I thought was odd.
I've stated before that I had a boost leak, but could not manage to find it when pressureing the system.
Have anyone experience with some UV additive that can be added to the motoroil?

Best off cleaning off the oil and seeing if it comes back.
No experience of UV additives
It's more likely that the TIP is leaking and as you don't have a catch can there is some oil residue in the vapours and as these are leaking out they are sticking to the hot turbo....hopefully
Na the TIP is the turbo intake Pipe, so this comes from your induction system.
All you will be doing is loosing boost pressure and working the turbo harder to get the same amount of boost. All you need to do is slacken off the TIP, clean mating faces and make back up, tight but not too tight as you can rip the silicone and cause another leak, which might already be your problem
