Luke, If it's blue smoke and lots of it there's a good chance your turbo is shot. If it's black smoke and no power it could be a Turbo pipe come off, check the pluming from your turbo to intercooler and intercooler to inlet manifold. If hoses are all in place remove outlet hose from turbo and check internals for damage and amount of oil in housings.

These guys are bloody good. They can test/tune/repair/overhaul your turbochargers at competetive rates. They serviced the injectors and overhauled the turbo for my old Pajero two years ago and had no problems since.

I can vouch for these guys too. The owner knows his stuff and is good at modifying turbos for differing needs.
