Why does my GReddy turbo only smoke at idle?

you need a rebuild. it's common after about a year of use. one of the major reasons to upgrade the turbo to something with real ball bearings and coolant instead of oil for cooling.
if you don't fix it, it will start to smoke more and more.

I was just curious why it only smokes at idle. I could drive it on the highway no problem. City driving is pretty embarasing. Most people think my car is on fire.

i would guess that it smokes at idle because the seals are worn and the shaft has excessive play. this lets oil out which burns in your exhaust. when you're driving there's enough pressure to seal it up.
