65K seems a bit premature to me for a turbo failure.
One thing you can do is have the oil pressure checked. If you're oil pump is failing, it can lead to turbo failure. Another thing to check is to remove intake pipe where it connects to the turbo. If you find a oil in it, then bingo, you'll soon be needing a turbo.
I sometimes think the blue smoke at start-up could be oil seepage through the valves when the engine is at rest. I'm not sure how the valve stems are sealed, but on some engines the seals, or bushings wear, allowing a little oil into the cylinders when the car is turned off. Over a period of time enough gets into the cylinder to create a cloud of smoke when the car first starts.
If that's all this is in some of these cars, it's nothing to worry about.
