Default bad turbo

Hey guys,
I found the gas mileage and power problem I have been having on my 97' 850 R Wagon. My Volvo Mechanic buddy says that my turbo is wearing out. When we punched the throttle blue smoke came out of the turbo. I am thinking that I may replace it with a 16T and new down pipe. Do you guys have any suggestions or advice for this swap?

Thanks,
Chet
