Message	Do you think that the bearings in your passenger side turbo failed, and that caused the wheels to come into interference with the housing, causing the racket you heard? If that was the case, maybe that could account for the loud clatter, the still decent compression numbers, the complete lack of power, and the smoke coming out from under the engine. That's just my guess.
