Regarding the smoke - to really settle down on the blue smoke subj - you can perform a very simple operation to find out if the turbo really does burn up the oil.
1. Just loosen up the two clamps on the air intake pipe near the throttle unit.
2. Take a look inside the pipe - if you find traces of oil - the turbo is letting oil thru the sealings - a solid argument for the dealer. If no oil traces are found - maybe it is "normal".
As for the idle problem - there can be too many reasons for that. I would try to change the plugs, if they haven't been replaced recently. And, yes, would try to fill 'er up at a different gas station/with different octane a few times.
Good luck,
Sergey
2.3 LPT `98 A/T with the same smoke problem and with oil traces in the intake pipe :(((
