Default Boosted EG idle and smoke issues

Hi, I bought a turbocharged EG a few months back and it has been idling rough and emitting white (possibly blue) smoke at idle and when revved. The funny thing is that when it is cold it idles perfectly smoothly and there is no smoke. Once it has warmed up the smoke starts and there is an intermittent misfire at idle.

Specs:
B18c bottom end, stock internals
GSR head. Compression test shows 220psi across all 4
Holset HY35
Blox intake manifold
1000cc injectors
Chipped P28 with neptune

Things I have tried so far:
ECU Remap
Adjusted ignition timing
New gapped plugs
Fixed boost leak in intercooler piping
Fuel additives
Cleaned IACV

The next thing I'm going to try is adjusting the valve clearances and replace the leaking cam seal. Anyone have any idea what this issue could be caused by? Pretty much everyone I've asked so far is fairly clueless about what it could be. Thanks

Is it tuned? Not chipped, but tuned. On the dyno. If not, stop wasting your time and money and go do it

Yep was tuned on a dyno, they couldn't figure out what was causing the idle issues though
