I have also used various weights of Mobil 1 full synthetic with no issues and no turbo or other smoke problems yet, although I did get some smoke once this past summer after a long drive to Colorado. The next morning it smoked, but not again after that. I can't imagine any special "cleansing" effect from Mobil 1 (hence my earlier post) and think it is probably coincidental that you have an early failing turbo or worn rings. Or a PCV problem (have you done the no. 6 update?).
