Whats the price of a new turbo?
if you have got oil in the intercooler then you will have some smoke on boost.
the problem you have is finding out why there is oil in the cooler,first off i would either fit a catch can or route the breathers to atmosphere and give the intercooler a clean out.
then use the car as normal for a few weeks and see if the smoke and oil in cooler stops,that way you will be certain the turbo is knackered before shelling out some hard earned.
