You can do a compression check easily. I recommend a compression gauge that has a flex hose with a fitting on the end that screws into the spark plug hole. That way you can check it without assistance. Disconnect the DI completely and remove all the plugs. You might also want to pull the fuel pump fuse. Open the throttle all the way when checking each cylinder, and crank till the pressure reaches max (three seconds or so ought to do it).
You can have bad oil rings without having bad compression rings, but a compression check is still worthwhile.
What color is the smoke? How heavy is it? Does it do it as long as you're accellerating hard, or just at the beginning?
