Blue smoke?? Uh,oh. (longish)

I just got my 2001 Saab 9-5 SE V6. It has 160,000 miles on it, which is a lot but I am 16 and it's my first car so I am just going to be driving around town to school and work. I haven't registered it yet, so it's been in my driveway and I've moved it a few times to get my parents' cars out. Today I started it up and revved it a little bit because I heard a weird clicking/screaching sound the other day, but it was running fine. However, today I revved it and the engine seems to shudder when I pushed the gas and shudder after I let go of the gas, it didn't stall though or anything. It also was kind of loud; it almost sounded like a diesel egnine or something. Then after moving it I got out and there was a puff of blue smoke and it smelled like a 2 stroke engine like a snowmobile or leaf blower or something. Could this be the other DI cassette failing?
(The other one failed a while ago and was replaced). Or is it the turbo? Or anything else? I am praying that it's the DI cassette because it's much cheaper and the recall is coming out soon. Also, if it is the turbo, how easy it it to DIY? I am on a tight budget.
Thanks,
-Brett
