What is the problem that led you to want turbo`s changing, sometimes lesser smoke or power problems can be resolved in other ways.

the boost gauges go up, as they should surely if i have piston or ring wear the boost would b lower

id have thoght it would still boost if the rings are worn tbh u might get some blow by on the pistons but i doubt that would affect your boost gauge, does sound like rings if it smokes when u let off the gas i reckon compression test like ashc said would be a good start

Boost gauge will always show positive pressure.....

 

If you suspect rings, try this:

 

Drive the car in 3rd gear (if manual, does not matter if auto) up to 5000 rpm's and let the car "run down" on its own...... when she hits 3000 rpm's and lower and you get plenty of smoke from the zorst, then yes rings it is.
