the smoke comes from under the turbo housing?
i would start by checking leaking intake, valve cover on that side, do you have a mechanical oil pressure guage? if so i would check the supply hose for the guage, make sure it is not spraying oil on the turbo.
could be turbo seals causing excessive oil burn and that coupled with a exhaust leak at the turbo could cause the smoke.

check for excessive water spray from heater hoses onto turbo too......

maybe post some pics of the smoke under the hood too.

This sounds like and looks like pressurized block. This means that intake pressure is too high so that the oil will not drain out of the turbo into the intake manifold. Turbo seals will be shot as the oil is going out the exhaust side. It has been awhile since I saw this. Is there oil on the inlet side of he turbo? What is your crank case beather setup?

Pull the oil fill cap. Is there any obstruction whatsoever to the black hose which goes to the throttle body air feed line?

Read my previous post. My problem was the stock oil fill tube cap and setup. The cold air kit I added did not allow for the oil fill cap to vent properly. Oil filled the line to your air intake(my was vented to the side) which pressurized my block. Blew up three turbos. The PIC attached solved the problem for me permanatly. This may not be legal where you live. Depends on your local epa specialists. My govenor and local epa specialist had the wisdom the exempt 1994 and older cars from the clutches of the green head cases. He now sits in prison.

i had close to the same thing happen to me, check your turbo for play, what happened to mine was the seal failed and once it would be under load it would leak oil right into the exhaust/intake and burn the same thick white smoke
