Do not drive it far or give it anything over minimal throttle. @JETURBO Agree? It could also be a head gasket/Coolant in the head. Was it running hot?

Priority 1 is compression test. U want it to be a gasket as that will be the cheapest fix. Good luck with it though buddy. Post back when u find out what it is.

Spool kits are pretty good value, Be around 12k to get it gack on the road again though. Cheap option is 3k second hand fg turbo block from a wreckers, plus a grand or two getting it all out and back together.
