Turbo smoke followup (and thanks)

Well, based on a few days' evaluation, I feel pretty confident in pronouncing my smoking problem is:
a.) Not turbo-related, injector-related, or otherwise expensive-part-related
b.) Fixed!
I had decided I thought the smoke was unburned gas, and that I must have a leaking injector. Decided to see which of the spark plugs were wet. Opened the hood, found that my PCV check valve had popped out of the (very crappy) hose to the intake manifold. Reconnected, problem has not returned. Cost: $0.00.
One of these days I'm going to have to get some decent vacuum hoses -- crappy Pep Boys washer fluid hose gets slimy and slippery after exposure to heat and vapors. One of these days.
Thanks again for all your input.
