Didn't go through the whole thread yet but do you by chance have any alignment specs?

EDIT - Have you checked your rear main seal for any leaks? But don't know if that would be causing the smoking.

Sorry for the late response.
Here are the current alignment specs,

Front
Camber: -2.2
Caster: 7.8
Toe: Stock

Rear
Camber: -3.0
Toes: Stock

UPDATE

Car is still at the dealer. No biggie as long as they fix everything broken. Currently it's still smoking but they have managed to fix a few other issues that were affecting performance.

So far whats been changed this trip:
- Valve Cover Gasket
- Valve Cover
- PCV Valve

Whats next:

So they realized some of the smoke smelled like gas. This meant one or more of the injectors were leaking. They decided to pull them out and see what the issue was.

Surprise surprise!



So the car had injector issues before and it was fixed how ever they could.
They went cylinder 1-6 Injector Index 6,9,9,6,9,6
Since all the injectors are different, the dealer decided it would take to much diagnostic time to figure out the problematic ones. It would be better to replace all of them with Index 12 new Injectors.

All new ones



Here are what my spark plugs look like. They are due in 8k miles but since everything is already off the car they gave me the option of replacing them for the cost of the new plugs. I gave them the go ahead.



So as of now since buying the car, here is everything replaced by the dealer:
- Turbos
- Valve Cover Gasket
- Valve Cover
- PCV Valve
- Index 12 Injectors (all 6)
- Spark Plugs (all 6)

Annnnnnnnnnddddddddd

Car runs way way way smoother and smokes way less buuuutttttt still smokes. yay.

As of now the only issue left is the exhaust valve seals. Let's see what happens and how they will handle that since the turbos have to come off again to check the exhaust ports for oil.

Wow you've been really lucky with your warranty. Majority of the n54 defects have been changed, especially those expensive injectors =S
Hope the smoke is all resolved soon!
