That's a tough one to diagnose. Bad valve seals? Blown head gasket? Bad turbo? I would think if the turbo was bad it wouldn't smoke only on start up. I'm sure there are plenty of guys in here that experienced it (search the forum). I would expect burning oil for bad valve guides (blue smoke). Did you check your coolant level to see if you are losing coolant?
Well it's too late for diagnosis now. The timing chain failed and I'm getting a new engine.
