It sounds like you have replaced everything that would normally be suspect, but if you haven't done it yet, make sure that the GPR is actually working. I put a new one on and it lasted less than two weeks. Just verify that both of the big studs have power on them when you first turn on the ignition. It sounds like the GP's are hot heating. Is the smoke white, blue or black? Does the truck smoke any other time other than when first started? The smoke is what makes me think that the GP's are not working.

Did the old turbo fail? Did the mechanic clean up the mess inside the tubes and air to air cooler?

That is normal for trucks that have never had the CCV mod done and never had the tubes out and cleaned.
