Thank you for everyone's helpful suggestions.
I took it to my local indy and he removed the turbo, sent it to a shop in Salt Lake City where it was remanufactured for $850. It looks like a new turbo.
I got the car back yesterday, total bill, $1350.
It runs correctly now, and after a 5-mile Italian tuneup, it burned out the oil in the exhaust system and it doesn't smoke any more.
