Smoke from exhaust when boosting!

Made I to NY from Texas with a few problems, one of them is my turbo or I think is my turbo. In El paso in like 3k above sea level and I been boosting aroun 24-27lbs fine been like that for a few months now, On my way! To NY and even now when I'm here when I get above 17lbs lots of smoke comin from exhaust pipe think its white in color, when I let off the gas and press it again no boost response. Car seems to be in limp mode.. Any thoughts? Also oil coming out my bov.

PVC? Where is that located? I'm the only yellow 4dr in el paso.... 9times out of 10 u seen my car before, I was thinking the seals but wouldn't it smoke all te time? Sometimes it builds boost and others there no response when I get real high in psi it smokes..

LNf ecotec rings are **** with a aggressive driver. They won't last long. Even if the tune is conserve as hell.. Frictional components break down quickly

A retune will probably fix the issue.

Oil is fine? No gas smell or anything? My money is on a blown turbo. Takes a few hours to swap over.
