my money is on the turbo. he replaced it pretty recently. with the cooked oil and the missing coolant, I would figure the turbo overheated and started eating its bearings. But I will report what I find when I pull the front cover off.

The Turbos very Rarely make the car over heat and eat the insides on them. as they have coolant running through them. More likly the head/head gasket went and then there was coolant lose and then it goes down hill fast.

not saying the turbo overheated, but the engine lost its coolant and the turbo with no coolant overheated and ate its bearings.

for $600 you'd hope it would come with a new flywheel too, but yes it does come with a new pilot bearing.
