Could being rear-ended cause the turbos to leak oil?

About a month ago my car was rear end on the driver side, while park, by someone going 60mph. I have a 3inch all the way back with stock catback and i was wondering if it could cause it to swing enough to damage anything. Because now after WOT, once the clutch goes in a cloud of smoke comes out. No matter what gear or how long i'm at WOT cause it always smokes after clutch is depressed. Any Ideas?

Thanks
~Luke

your car got hit at 60 while standing still and it was not totalled?!?!?! WOW! I am sure that something could have happened if it was hit that hard.

Hey Luke, nice to see you still have the car.

I'm not sure on your problem though. From what I've read, most people with midpipes see some smoke at WOT. Now how much smoke is too much, that's another thing.
