Someone had taken off the filter near the maf and stuck the pipe on the steel breather thingy, which I have rectified but its still the same.

My missus was out driving with my daughter earlier and notice a strange bolloxed bearing type noise which she thought might be the turbo (she is always right like women are, lol) then a short while later the car was smoking like Dot Cotton. No sh*t when I got to her, and tried it thier was a hugh smoke screen of grey smoke from the exhaust, people came out of thier houses to see if it was a fire. It wouldn't start at 1st but then it did and was thick smoke. Anyways, got a tow home the found low oil and water, needed 1-2 ltrs of each. It starts every time now but it smokes a grey colour quite bad and theirs a grinding noise instead of the turbo whistle but it does go. Someone had taken off the filter near the maf and stuck the pipe on the steel breather thingy, which I have rectified but its still the same. Is that the cause or has my turbo failed. Please advise. Sick of the cr4ppy car now, nowt but problems. Thanks.

Just to add, when I started the car it revved high on its own and it wouldn't turn of by key, had to stall it.

That and the bearing/grinding noises you heard seem to confirm the turbos fecked.
