If you can do the work yourself I suggest you clean the air pipes to the intake manifold and the butterfly valve, replace the pcv valve on top of the oil separator, use liquimolly DPF cleaner followed by a regen.... drive for a few weeks and see does it settle down.
I have done all of these things and new turbos and new rings and new sensors etc. but I still had the soot filter full until I did the liquimolly clean (I previously had so called professional cleans and some DIY cleans but the LM product was super. Use a garden sprayer from argos with a lance made from some aluminium tube from B&Q to put in the chemicals,
my theory is that the PCV system goes wrong and at high revs instead of closing the connection, the airintake is so close to the turbo that it causes a vacum which draws oil out of the separator and then fires this into the intake..
