Message Well,

Obviously if someone had an auto its not going to lock up.

This is not Z specific but

Alot of time if you really grenade the engine the rod comes through the skirt and falls into the pan or else comes right out the side of the block, the engine can still turn as the thing bangs around in the pan. If something got caught locking up the reciprocating assembly then it should lock one or both wheels. Since you said it was leaking at your turbo,
Perhaps your rotor disintgrated and some debris went down your intake and got wedged somehow. Just a WAG, most times
chunks down the intake wont lock it up either but I would think it would be possible at least. If you could get a boroscope somewhere you could look through the spark plug holes and see what the cylinders look like good luck
