When you say you have had the headgasket checked, do you mean a compression check? water and white scum inside filler cap is normally a sure sign of the dreaded BHG (Blown Head Gasket) how does it drive? does the temp rise when you boost then drop when you cruise along off boost? if the answer is yes then it is a BHG I'm afraid. Blue smoke = Oil 99% of the time, is it using a lot of oil?

Nathan The car drives fine no flat spots or missing ive had a mechanic do a test but not a pressure test he used a liquid that changes colour when head gaskets blown. the temp is fine runs normal when on full boost and stays the same when cruising it also uses very little oil. Thanks for the advice
