If it's blue smoke then most probably turbo oil seals dude. As for a re con, I think race tech were doing a good price? Unsure if there still doing it though!

take one of the intercooler pipes off and inspect for exsesive oil residue, another way of telling if oil seals are on there way out.

It could be something simple like the PCV valve.
