You can always get a spray bottle with water, spray down all the turbo lines where they are clamped, start the car and check for bubbles

Just a little update, replace MAF with new one now and it's miles better. Still a little smoke and the turbo whistle seems to be a little louder. So thinking might be a very small hole somewhere along the turbo hoses or maybe the clamps aren't "clamping" good enough.

Don't know if I'll be able to afford a full set at the minute, so might replace one at a time. They all look knackered anyway!
