The original 7.3 was an IDI( indirect injection) just like the older 6.9. The only factory turbo 7.3 idi was in 93-94 and it was an option . In 1994 you could get a 7.3 IDI, 7.3 IDI turbo or the 7.3 DI ( direct injection ) aka "power stroke" .
OP, I might suspect the turbo too for oil consumption but it should be easy to verify by removing the "hat " or the inlet pipe from the turbo to the intake manifold, you should find a lot of oil there if the the turbo was at fault.

The turbo can be removed/deleted but you would probably need a N/A donor truck for the parts that you would need to swap. A few brackets, air filter housing, exhaust manifolds and pipe and a few brackets. You may also need to learn how to defuel the IP pump if it was turned up to compensate for boost.
