So, let a buddy of mine take the car for a drive.
Long story short the car wasn't at NOT and he stood on the throttle at 1,300 rpms. The turbo overboosted at whch point he still didn't remove his foot from the go pedal and the turbo surged then completely stalled starving the motor for air and the engine died.
Brought it home pulled the glow plugs cranked it over, nothing came out. did a compression test 450 across all four holes. Yanked the head piston protrusion was all the same and nothing looked bad.
Toss it back together and the car does this

So I take the video, rip it back apart AGAIN to find the turbo is pissed. Spins rough and the exhaust seal (or whatever the metal piece is that's right inside the chra) on it actually dragging on the washer that is behind the turbine *sigh*
The white smoke was a mixture of oil and the turbo not giving requested boost under no load cause it couldn't spool up.
Slapped another turbo on it and the problem has been reduced about 80 percent. However, it will still blow some white smoke (not blue) and it smells like raw diesel no oil tinge to it.
Probably going to have to rip it back apart again
