blown head gasket or blown turbo?

Hello,
Just recently I notice excessive amount of smoke was blown from my exhaust pipe, I just flush and refill both the engine oil and coolant fluid .
The coolant tank was empty and the engine oil was spoiled and run low
after a 60 minute drive.
My first conclusion was that of a blown head gasket , and so I run out
and bought a compression tester to see if that were true.

I check and crank the car 2 times on each cylinder,no matter how many
times I crank or how long the cranking time is ,it still come up with the same number.
Here are the results.

cyl # 1 : 180
cyl # 2 : 180
cyl # 3 : 182
cyl # 4 : 182

So can anyone here tell me is it my head gasket thats blown or the turbo?.
