Blah blah... Is my engine blown?... blah blah

I think my engine is done for.

I was driving around town, did a few 2nd and 3rd gear pulls. Shifting at 6k. After the pulls i was driving normal to my house... i had to go up a fairly large hill... and my car started running like complete garbage. Like sputtering and smoking a ton. I barely made it to my house. No power at all unless i am above 4k. My car runs on premix and i thought that i just added too much oil because it smoked real bad when i let off the throttle. Now it smokes like CRAZY and has a very hard time starting. It sounds like a v6 running on 4 cylinders with 25 asians in the dead cylinders. I put brand new plugs in it. Im getting spark on all 4 plugs. I checked every sensor, i check/replaced every vaccum leak, i took the upper intake mani off and took the fuel rail off and the fuel looked clear as could be, replaced the intake mani gasket. Ive been getting very small traces of water in my oil. It seems to have good compression on all faces. When i can get the car to start it smokes and sputters and wont idle. Its blue/black smoke. Not coolant smoke at all.

Maybe too much oil in premix? Or blown oil seals?

Any ideas?!

All S4.



Also the turbo is brand new. There isnt any oil going through the intercooler/turbo pipes. So the turbo isnt the issue.

FCD, Turbo back exhaust, no additional boost-dependent fueling: blown engine.
