Sounds like a few things... Sounds like an intercooler pipe blew off and/or you blew a headgasket... That would be my guess...

Re: Smoke coming from the exhaust and no boost pressure

I'm probably completely wrong. is it on a stock turbo? what color is the smoke? Blue? maybe you blew a oil gasket in the turbo and it sent oil into the engine. check your oil. are your intercooler pipes stock? maybe there is a hole somewhere in the piping. I'm trying to learn about cars so dont make fun of me.

Weird, I don't think that would all be the same problem. If your oil light came on you either have a bad sending unit, the conneting wire came loose, or your oil pump seased. No boost, sounds like an intercooler coupler, you'r car won't die because of it though, it happend to me 2 weeks ago, just puffs black smoke out the back and couldn't rev past 2k in any gear.

It is possable that somthing is in your oil that seased your oilpump and turbo at the same time. Highly unlikly, but possable. You have no Check Engine Light?
