It's possible I have a crankcase pressure issue because of the wrong intake? If so, that's a much more cost effective change than a turbo which would be great. So what's the fix, a different intake like a Cobb or Corksport? One that doesn't require tuning?

Car's at the shop so can't take actual pics but this is the exact intake

So start with an OCC since I just replaced the PCV? Or swap the new PCV for the L3Y2-13-S80B ventilation kit? Or do both, the OCC and ventilation kit?

HPS intake. The smoke appears when the car is warm and idling for a while. As in driving the car for 15min and then letting it idle for over 5min. That’s when it starts to smoke pretty heavily. It does seem to dissipate at higher RPMs.

I've printed out the response from Mazda regarding the smoking issue to give to the shop. Since they've checked everything from the MAF and PCV to the air/fuel sensor and compression, from what I've researched online the fix has to be either Mazda's ventilation (PCV) relocation kit or a new...

I'm not due for my regular oil change interval for another 1k miles. I checked it 2 weeks ago and it was about .5 quart low so I topped it off. The smoke is more white than blue but smells more like oil burning than coolant.

Update: The shop dug into the car and said it's definitely not the turbo, zero oil on either the input or output and not even residue. It was running rich so they cleaned the MAF and replaced the air/fuel ratio sensor and crankcase vent valve. The numbers all came back great which is good but it...

At first, the smoke came after the car was warm and idling. When it came back the other day, I had driven it around town and on the highway for about 15-20min and noticed the smoke on my way home while at a stop light. Yesterday I drove only about 2 miles from my house and it started smoking so...

The code has been random. After the plugs and coils were replaced, the CEL went away but came back instantly once smoke started coming out of the exhaust. I'll have to check on the plug gap.

My wife was driving my '07 MS3 a couple months ago and thought she saw smoke coming from the exhaust at idle although she wasn't 100% sure. The CEL also came on. She rarely drives my car and I thought maybe it was initial condensation burn off. I took it to the shop and they didn't see any signs...
