Did they check your drive belt? Belt or pulley's may have smoothed out too much and need maintenence. Not uncommon for garages to miss this diagnosis.

I have a 2001 toyota avensis d4d. the problem is if the car is stationary i am able to rev vehicle and the turbo kicks in without a problem but when driving the turbo fails to kick in more often than...

Turbo works on the engine from the moment you start it. It does not kick in as people use to say. Loss of power and acceleration is caused by many different things, get diagnostics done and you will know exactly.

Loss of power and acceleration on Mazda 6 Turbo diesel 2003

I'm assuming that that smoke was more previlant while going uphill because that's when the turbo would be really spolling up to max psi. I would guess that if you really got on the gas hard and got the turbo going even on a flat surface, that you would notice the smoke too. The loss of power and the white/grey smoke are tell tale signs that your turbo is bad or starting to fail. Good luck!
