Thanks for the follow-up -- I have replaced the turbo once, but the replacement was bad, so it was also replaced (within 2k miles). The original turbo wasn't "blown" just yet, but it was doing a little bit of smoking on startups, so I replaced it at a preventative measure. This is my wife's car, and I am often gone on military deployments, so I do what I can to assure reliability in our cars. This latest turbo only has about 5k miles on it.
Anyway, the blue smoke I see, curiously enough, is evident only briefly upon initial acceleration. The car can sit all workday long, and does not smoke when re-started for the trip home. It only smokes after sitting all night (or, presumably, for a period longer than a workday).
I guess I'll just monitor oil consumption and hope for the best. Thanks again!
