I have replaced several stock turbos with 16Gs and the first sign of turbo failure was excessive smoke. This happens when oil passes into the exhaust housing. In the beginning it was only under boost. The really bad turbos smoked under normal driving conditions and at idle but the vehicles never had a problem staying running. Take the intake of the turbo and wiggle the blades up and down or side to side. Also pull the blades in and out, if there is excessive play the turbo is bad.
