To check the turbo, with the car off try to wiggle the impeller. It should go side to side a little, but "no" play forward and back
It checks out. About 1/8th inch play side to side or up and down but no play pushing or pulling.

Is your air filter completely plugged to the point of restricting air
very recent cleaning of K+N filter. Made a big project of it actually because I couldn't get it completely white.

Smoke diagnoses require a video
I just went out and shot some. Will try get a short digestible clip of it cut up and uploaded to dropbox or youtube or something as soon as I can.

Smoke didn't seem as bad while I was out filming and driving but I was waved down by a car beside me on the road and told "sir, your bumper is on fire"
