Blue smoke and codes

Former 9K 1991 sedan owner with shade tree wrenching experience. Talked my son into buying 2002 9-5 two years ago, been running great until last week. Billows of "Uncle Buck" smoke coming from tailpipe, especially on acceleration and up hills is worse. Looks white most of the time, but hoping my tired eyes see blue. Coolant overflow tank shows no presence of oil, but dip tube is laying a mist, though not sweet smelling. Presume turbo is shot (84k miles). Pulled the following codes from friendly neighborhood auto parts store.
P1300
P1106
P1105
P1110
Store said p1300 cascades to others and indicates misfire. I removed DIC and no presence of oil on plugs. Rear PCV valve checked for integrity with mouth blow test and passed. Plugs removed and have carbon deposits (have not checked gap, but probably fouled from misfires). Haven't yet checked hose connections to Turbo Bypass Valve as this is an Al Pacino project: " As soon as I try to get out, they bring me back in"
My suspicion is to replace the turbo and hunt down the CELs.
Looking for any guidance.
