At a guess shagged turbo, from the grey smoke at idle.

Pull the downpipe off and look for oil. Likewise check for oil pooling in the bottom of the intercooler.

Your Turbo Rear Oil Seal is Leaking.

Low on Boost.

Oil straight into your exhaust causing Smoke.

Also Oil out you WG Holes.

Smoke probably gets much worse under Boost?

With TMIC Clean, maybe front seal is only just starting to leak.?

TMIC - Top Mount Intercooler.

You\'ll find it\'s full of Oil. :-[

Unbolt the TMIC and undo the Throttle Body Silicone Joiner.

Lift the TMIC slightly.

Then look inside for Oil.

100% Your Turbo is blown. Driving the Car could damage it severely....

What\'s your car? What\'s your Turbo? Would you try and fix it yourself?
