Default has my turbo gone

put my foot dwn last nite and i heard a zippin whistle sound then i get no boost car will only go to 0.06 of bost and no more also loads of smoke out the back.

took the air filter hose off and there is no play in the shaft no left right or up and down and it spins freely.

could this be the seals in the turbo????

Take off the compressor side hose and see if there's any oil in there to start with.
