Default Turbo on the way out - what are the signs ?

As per title, just out of curiosity.

Apart from the obvious, smokey and lack of boost etc. Are there any tell-tale signs to look out for ?

Thanks in advance.

Mines coming up to 30k (2 previous owners tho). I'm not too worried, it's just a little bit smokey at start up sometimes. But the smoke does clear once warmed up.

Cheers for your comments guys.
