Watching a video of a behind the view of my 87 turbo I noticed puffs of smoke coming out during shifts? Can anyone tell me the cause(s) for this?

oh... well you would most likely only vent to the atmosphere if you had a aftermarket bov. You probably arent. Its hard to tell you what the cause it. If I had to guess I would say valve seals but it can be a number of things. sorry I couldnt help more
Appears to be grey smoke but the the video is taken from about 15 feet beind me, So it is hard to get a good look at the smoke.
I don't think my BOV is vented to the atmosphere. My BOV is located from the pipe running to the right side of the motor to the turbo elbow from the small pipe running next to the 3000 pipe. Is this correct?

if your car only smokes in boost its more then likely turbo seals.
Rings would be more of a constant smoking and valve seals would only smoke after sitting for a bit at a red light or on a cold start correct? Someone correct me if im wrong here.. because i have similiar issues, i smoke when i go into boost and when i get out of boost; my turbo has lots of shaft play and i keep finding a few little pools of oil on the compressor inlet lip when taking the accordian hose off as well as a thin layer of oil on the IC pipings
