Sounds like bad turbo seal, blowing oil in intake. Note that intake may look clean as the oil will wash it clean and oil will to stick to inside for long before it consumed.

I tried to check last weekend, but my compression tester lost an o-ring and won't seal and I'm waiting on the part. I'm fairly certain that the air intake is free and open. Don't bad valve guide seals show lots of extra blue smoke on a cold start? Mine hardly smokes until higher RPM's....i.e. >2500.
