black smoke wont be your turbo but means running rich and unburnt fuel.blue smoke could be turbo but could also mean blocked breathers,wrong grade of oil,worn valve guides or piston rings.

Smoking is now in clouds when pulling away Blue/white in colour.

Checked intercooler & all pipework some oil present ;
breather pipes clear.

Other forums suggest a compression test & likely head gasket.
This was changed 94k miles ago ,approx 5 years are they realy that much of a consumable!!!
