Your turbo seals are most likely leaking. You have choices:

1) Replace your engine oil and install a 5W-40 synthetic oil. Another 07 owner had this happen recently and just changing to 5W-40 oil stopped the smoke. I use Shell Rotella T6.

2) You can pay for the emission upgrade at the dealer. They will change your valve cover to the new version which creates more vacuum in the crankcase at idle.

3) You can install Krankvents. I use a Krankvent on the valvecover to create a vacuum in the crankcase and havent had any smoke on my 08 (original turbo).

4) There is a company that makes an upgraded KO4 turbo for about $900. They upgrade to Garett internals (looks stock on the outside) and guarantee no smoke.

Negative the BNR stage1 acts like a completely stock turbo. Its simply a bolt-in swap.
