When you press the accelerator thick white smoke comes from the exhaust. The things i notice from the engine bay are that the intercooler pipe collapses(as the revs drop the pipe goes bock to normal) and a noise can be heard coming from around the turbo. The smoke gets heavier as you rev, you literally cant see through the smoke. I have tried a new air flow meter, it already has a new air filter.
There was a small drop of oil inside the turbo where the pipe connects to it.
Really appreciate any ideas. Thank you.

I would think this will be a blown turbo.
These are fed by a small oil pipe and if the unit overheats (due to wear) - this oil fill feed directly into either the inlet manifold - or the outlet - exhaust.
If it is spilling oil into the hot exhaust - you will get a thick white fog. You can confirm this by placing a clear glass bottle or jar in the exhaust stream - and see if it gets a thick coating of oil on it. If it evaporates - it's water, if not - or feels oily - new turbo or overhaul.
Best get is sortd sooner rather than later - as you may be able to save most of it for an overhaul rather than scrap it if badly worn.

Same problem as above. small bit of white smoke while idling, but under acceleration there is a lot of white smoke. checked oil and there is no cloudy looking oil.how would water be getting into the fuel?
Turned out that the impellor at the exhaust side of the turbo has totally disintergrated!! ...... new turbo needed.
