blue smoke is created by oil, so id probably say seals, but im not for sure.
if you have test pipes, i think it is normal for some smoke, not blue tho, to come out of the exhaust because there arent any cats to filter any of your flow.

If it idles and accelerates smoothly with no misfire or stumble, I'd first get the turbo oil seals replaced. If the problem was with the valve guide seals, the smoke usually goes away after the engine is warmed up.
