Default Turbo roast Anyone

Yeah so I was cruzin round today and notice some bogging at part throttle and some serious lag....So when I got out of work I wasnt surprised to have a white billowy cloud come out my tailpipe when I started her up after repremanding her severely she stoped spewing smoke, but my guess is that when I start her up tomorrow shell do the same...

would be a good reason why my turbo doesnt work....anyone now why they spew white smoke when the turbo goes is that oil er coolent...

It could be coolant if a hose is leaking, but... is it white smoke or blue tinted smoke?

White smoke usually means you have coolant in your combustion chamber whilst blue smoke means you're burning oil.
If it is white, you probably have to replace your head gasket.
