If it's white smoke, I'd suspect that you have a headgasket failure rather than a turbo failure. What's it smell like; burning oil or is it kind of sweet smelling?
As far as a turbo upgrade goes, you'll get a some improved performace by tweaking your existing APC box without going to the expense of a Red Box-rated APC unit or a larger turbo. Don't forget, though, that the Achilles' heel of the C900 is the transmission. Even the larger pinion bearings of the post-88 gear box don't last forever with tweaked horsepower.
