A bad PCV valve (or system) would most often cause smoke to enter the crankcase, not the exhaust. Open the dipstick, and have someone else start the car...watch what happens.
One of the ways i figured out my 87 900 turbo HG was blown, was by the excessive smoke from the oil disptick. Pressure was being introduced from a breach on Cyl1 into the timing chain galley.
Compression check, compression, compression check. Its cheap, and easy, and olny requires removing spark plugs. $25 kit from Harbor Freight (if you have them on the left coast).
