remove the turbo and have a qualified tech disassemble and inspect the turbine. sounds like either the bearings are all coked up/seizin, or the impeller is contacting the compressor housing.
also make sure your oil line isn't clogged.

I bet you money that your CAT is clogged. Same thing happened to me and soon you won't be able to boost at all.
