Default Good news and Bad news

The good news is my motor is not blown and is still instact Bad news i have to rip apart my turbo and stuff to get to a coolent hose that cause all of this.I was on my first ride with my new turbo and all was going well till i decided to push it. I overheated it and really thought i had done internal damage. I lost 2 coolant hoses, one right by the radiator, 2nd one of the turbo on the block. I need a downpipe, theres too much lag with the stock one and its slow off the line, but once those rpms are up it will throw you back. Tonight im gona rip it all back apart and hopefuly have some better news. Pray it goes well, i will be pissed if it doesnt.

Do you guys think a blown headgasket would cause this?

A blown headgasket would have coolant in the oil.
