Get a second opinion, a dealer if you have to. Just tell them what the symptoms are, not what the original mechanic diagnosed.
My 854T has only 90K miles, but has had the turbo return line O ring replaced. My 98 turbo has 118K miles, and just a dirty turbo air line which leaks occasionally. These turbos are really good units, they shouldn't fail.

Except for the smoke, does the turbo sound good? Do you still have lots of power? The only reason for smoke is that something is dripping on the exhaust pipes. Use a flash light and try to see where the smoke is coming from.

Spending $25 at a dealer for a diagnostic check may be well worth it. Also check to see if you have any codes which are not turning on the CEL.
