  You could disconnect the hose between the turbo and the intercooler. 
Only thing is it'll probably go into limp mode at best due to no flow 
across the MAF but it's worth a try.  Limp or not if the smoking starts 
and you get sprayed with oil mist from the turbo outlet, then you 
know it's the turbo!
  I just had a little issue with burning oil.  Accidentally let the pickup 
go the "book recommended" 7,500 mile oil change interval instead 
of my usual 5K.  It was smoking smelled like oil, etc.  If you had 
thin oil then give it a little time after changing it.  Maybe flush out 
the intercooler, etc.  You could have blowby in the intake that needs 
to work out and you may have some coking on the rings that should 
clear out with a little running on proper oil.  You could try synthetic 
since it should clean better and won't coke while it works past and 
cleans the rings.
