ok ive just got back home

from what i can see the bleed valve pipe has come off the turbo side

and the turbo has ran max boost bascially pressurissing the sump id say as there is oil everywhere

the bleed valve pipe is fuel line and is not clamped on at the actuator, turbo and bleed valve itself

its the pipe is also a very sloppy fit id say that goes onto the turbo and actuator, it needs to be clamped

we started the engine up and i had to hold it on revs to get it going, and it is missing and running lumpy, take teh oil cap off and it will tickover

whcih is opposite of what it should do? also a load of smoke coming out of the hole of the oil cap bascially breathing very very heavily

ill do a compression check tomorrow when poom gets back from work to see whats down,

ubut id say it fried a piston somewhere along the way

turbo side ill take a look when i take a boost pipe off

but the car still doesnt smoke on tickover or revs

but not good to hear about this as the car has only just come back on the road
