You might like to review the rules of the board.

But that aside, white smoke usually does not indicate a blown turbo, but rather that you're burning coolant.
Are you sure its the turbo?

Check the turbo for shaft play b4 replacing it. And ^he's right. White smoke means burning coolant. So check the head gasket. If your geting a lot of blue smoke then start singleing out the turbo.

let the car run and check for bubbles in you radiator, also check your oil for a milky substance if you have either you got a head gasket problem.

my bad...
ok i posted here before and they said it as the turbo
it smokes real heavy on start up out the exhaust and smells like oil
theres oil all inside my downpipe and on the o2 housing
maybe the seals bad
but the car other than the smoke runs normal turbo spools fine and all
could it be the seal or one of the oil lines to the turbo is bad....

i had a little oil leak from the oil return line where it bolts up to the pan so i took it off and put it back on with rtv....no leaks i drov it fine but then the next time i started it up the smoke came and it whent away after a few miles but then sumtimes smoked while driving
