Your problem might be a bad turbo, if oil is getting into the turbo, blue smoke will come out. You can get a turbo rebuild kit to fix this, or you can get a updated turbo. Lots of things here.

The factory air box is not the best at sealing out dirt, some people use a drop in K&N filter, which seems to be even worse. Several folks here have ended up with a dusted turbo, or worse, a dusted engine from improper filtration. The best thing to do is take the lid off the air filter and inspect the lid and tube that goes back to the turbo for any sings of dust in there. Dust is bad and can cause lots of damage to these motors.
If you think you have a turbo issue, the best thing to do is remove the big tubes that go to the turbo and inspect the wheel. The edges should be crisp and sharp, not look like they've been in front of a sand blaster. Grab the center shaft of the wheel and wiggle it around. Some up and down or side to side play is ok if the wheel doesn't touch the housing. The center shaft rides on a film of oil that won't be there when the engine is off. In and out play is not good.
Edit: I type too slow. In response to your last question, I've got 277k miles on my stock turbo.
