Pretty sure subaru turbos are oil lubricated/cooled only. So i'd say no mate. However leaking head gaskets under boost is another posibility you might want to investigate.

If it's burning oil through the turbo bearing failing, you should notice more of a blue smoke from the exhaust. White smoke would indicate water getting into the combustion chanmber buddy
