If you want to swap the turbo I won't hurt. Idk if the TD04's fail as often as the VF39's but if the turbo has to come out why not replace it, especially if you have one ready to go in. Plus, your turbo could be losing its seals and blowing a little oil and or coolant into the downpipe and causing it to smoke.

My thoughts, exactly.
Interesting that the oil return line doesn't see much pressure. I'm starting to think it's less likely the issue.
