I hope you are right, but consider the following:

1. blown turbos will not cause a CEL. Its purely mechanical 
deterioration.  Only if the oil fouls the combustion process will a CEL 
appear

2. Once warm, the Catalytic converter can clean up the opil smoke, until 
the oil fouls and ruins the cat, whcih is very expensive BTW

what's the history on this car?
Do you always keep the revs and boost down until fully warmed up?
