Correction...No smoke at idle, but lots of smoke at high rev and boost peaks at 10psi
Removed X-over pipe at intercooler and oil squirts out like a garden hose at high revs (under boost).
Since this is my daily commuter, I think I will just replace it with $1500 OE K04 since it is available local.

Do a leak down test
If you have a compressor you can buy a leak down test kit from Harbor Freight for 29.99, then buy a compression gauge. Get it hot, run your compression test, then your leak down. Better to spend $60 on testing then replace a turbo that might not be bad.
