There’s not near enough information in your post to give you a hard answer. Turbo could be worn but still operational, could be shot.
White smoke can be a lot of things and very well may not have anything to do with your turbo.
are you or anyone you know experienced in working on a diesel? A mechanically injected diesel?

If youre not comfortable removing and rebuilding the turbo, then get a new or reman turbo with a warranty and be done with it. Just one less thing to stress about. If it were me, I'd just replace it. Its way easier in my opinion. Or like Crawler says, look into an upgrade.....if budget permits.

Means whatever oil was / is leaking from your turbo, for whatever amount of time, has collected in your intercooler. Should be cleaned out...…….
