could be turbo - is it noisy at all? - or even valve stem seals - when was the oil last changed and what sort of oil was used? You may want to check the PCV system (breather) common for them to block when run on crap oil - If the turbo has gone buy a second hand one (mitsubishi TD04)
- is it def blue smoke on idle or just condensation?
