If you have smoke coming through the breather system. To ME, that sounds like oil is passing the rings and is passing back into the crank case, being pulled out by the vacuume of the turbo, then dumped out through the DV?

I may be wrong, but it sounds like the systems I had on my last scoob. Running lean an it cooked the rings on number 3.

If you can be bothered, check your plugs for fouling. That will give you a positive answer...

And make sure you get a chuffer valve fitted if you do - best make it not perform correctly from day one

any sort of test I can run before ripping the engine out

Compression test.

Remove plugs and look for fouling. (As already suggested).
