If the EGR is functional, the intake manifold is likely full of muck if the turbo is spraying oil. It's entirely possible that the valves are caked with a thick tar-like goop that could be preventing valves from fully closing/seating causing enough compression loss that it runs like crap until it's hot enough to overcome it. Just a theory.

If you want to see if the turbo is your culprit, pull the crossover pipe and pull the breather hose off. Let the engine warm up, then give it a couple good hard revs and see if you get an oil mist blowing up out of the turbo. If you do, you've likely found your oil consumer.
