intersesting running issue...

buddy in his car was driving.....car was getting warm.....pulled over looked at his temp..its was little over 1/4 we decided it was fine...we are in tx..and it was hot...lol...SO....drove it for like 40sec...the car all of a sudden...BLASTED to HOT after he turned on AC.....and attemped to get back on highway.....engine shut off....and didnt start when it did start....SMOKE...but like...huge billows....BUT smells like oil....THEN i compression tested rear rotor.....93...front is still unknown (havent gotten around to it..) now his car to warm it up we started it sounds like chunks of something or rattling or something...SO we took a look at turbo...spins VERY nicely....VERY VERY nicely.....no oil or liquids on spark plugs.....at least rear rotors plugs....car wont idle anymore...and LOTS of smoke....could the turbo have blown all of a sudden like that? what do you guys think it could be?!? ima pull off turbo and prolly pull motor anyways...BUT just asking for opionions....since we have our game plan already...
