Help determine whats wrong

Hey guys, after a hot day cruise my car went into limp mode.

It seems to run better when I let it rev a little higher, and I can take the car up to 3k, but no more. If I press the gas all the way itll make a woosing noise and just twitch back and forth.

Smoke starts coming out from the engine as if the oil is being burned inside, allthough the temps are fine the radiator is completely off until I turn on the fans.

This didnt happen before.... Could it possibly be the ECU?

Here is a short video of a cold start up

What do you mean by vacuum hoses? A pic would do wonders.

The hose that connects to the map sensor was unplugged at the bottom, at first nothing change but I ran it at 2k for 5 minutes and let it go hoping for the best. It idled fine, I moved the piece of crap infront of me in neutral and drove 10 psi with a smile upon my face.

Thank bro!
