Has my motor gone?

Ok I just pulled off my two intercooler pipes to give them a fresh coat of paint. When I put them back on i didint use silicone on the throttle-body and intercooler pipe joining it, do you need to?(there are remains of silicone). I started it the following happened. The auto warm up did not engage, the car was running roughly, and making only 10InMg (normally around 20 it think). Also was blowing lots of white smoke.

Does anyone know what is wrong with my motor? Its got 2K miles on it.
Turbos are in good condition also.

Thankx

check to see if you knocked off your map sensor hose, since you were working in that area.

other than that, sounds like what a ton of other people have described to be a blown motor
