I did have a sport sedan with turbo failure and it did not smoke. The reason it didn't smoke was becuase the turbo oil supply pipe was completely clogged with burnt oil, so no oil was reaching the turbo. The customer was going to cheap oil change places, so they may have put in the incorrect oil. And the pipe runs right next to the exhaust manifold.
Its an easy turbo to check. Just pull off the intake tube (between air cleaner and turbo) and see if the turbo spins freely and if there is excessive play.
If the turbo did fail, make sure your mechanic checks the oil supply pipe. Its something that should be checked with all turbo failures, but some guys overlook this critical item.
