Sounds like the turbo has had it mate, I would get it looked at soon as, coz if it breaks up bits will go inside the engine

then you are in trouble

Could be loss of oil feed that caused the problem, as wr pete said have it looked at sooner than later.

Sounds like :
A) The turbo is Fooked
B) The engine will be Fooked soon if there is no coolant in it.

The car is nice apart from that and I had a good test drive and all seemed well.
Today I had a little blast in it today only a few miles it held boost well but about 3 mile in to the drive a could smell something getting hot so I head back water temp was fine and I didn't boot it at all
When I did get back I opened the bonnet and could see where the oil and water pipes are it had a bit of a red glow to it. I've done the coolent and oil aswell and will strip the turbo off tomorrow
