i think i have a blown head gasket???
 

i get some smoke once in a while when i drive around and my car gets hot, and also when i take out my spark plugs from left to right on my d15b7 with a t-25 turbo, running FMU and side mount intercooler, all the threads on the far left, not the second threads but the third and fourth threads are all covered in oil... is it a blown head gasket???

Darker smoke, or white smoke? It sounds like you're getting a lot of blow-by past the pistons. Do a compression test.

you think i should go for a thinner headgasket?? to increase my C/r a tad bit???? and head studs???

I think you should worry about re-vamping your whole fuel system. Why are you using an FMU and not a chipped ecu? I would just get a regular headgasket and some arp headstuds.

white smoke could be valve seals, headgasket, turbo blow by, ring blow by, my car does the same ----, and the oil on the plugs could be the valve cover gaskets in the plug holes, im just gonna run my ---- till i have a problem, a little smoke never hurt anyone, and you come to expect some smoke with a boosted honda, i could tear my motor apart and figure out whats causing the smoke, or i could keep driving it untill it causes a problem, cause your gonna have to tear it apart at that point anyway!
