Message	it could've just been your turbo going to shit. Ground turbine blade = unbalanced turbo which at 100k RPM will make quite a boom and definately send your oil pressure to 0. That and if that pass. side turbo was not boosting because of the f'd turbine blade, your drivers turbo was working double time and possibly blowing as well. As for all the sounds, a sheared off turbine blade hitting the inside of a cat-con, or hell, the pipe itself sounds pretty similar to a rod flying out the oilpan. I'd do a compression check first, but I'd bet your motor is probably fine. Mike don't eat yellow snow
