I had my turbo replaced at 10,000 miles in my 2000 LPT because I was getting smoke during cold start-up. On some turbos, a small oil leak develops to where a bit of oil leaks into the exhaust side of the turbo and burns on start up, resulting in the smoke. I was having no performance problems as a result, but was concerned for the longevity of the turbo, oxygen sensor, etc. There are threads about this problem further back in the BB posts, so I won't elaborate.
