Bluish gray is burning oil which is more typical of what happens after blown turbo seals.
Very dark smoke is more likely unburned fuel, who diagnosed the turbo as bad?
If you habitually left the oil in there for 10K miles that could lead to sludge (do you know about PCV #6 on that 2002?) but how do you know the turbo went bad and the "shop" wasn't just looking for the most expensive fix possible?
