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

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
