Need help...asap

[1998GSX]

I think I may have blown my turbo. but its too dark outside to see if there any smoke coming out of the exhaust. the car is very hesitant when i step on the gas. the bov does go off but i hear no sound from the exhaust. it makes a very funny nosie while at idle and the vacuum part of my boost gauge is jumping around from 10-6, it doesnt stay still. the car does run, could i hav blown my turbo??? or is there something else that im overlooking that may have gone wrong??? if anyone can help i would appericat it. sorry that this is kind of vauge, ill try to get some more details tomorrow morning. Thank in advance

Definitely sounds like a boost leak to me. I would start by checking your IC piping and for anything visually noticable. If nothing comes of it, check for boost leaks with a boost leak tester.

i forgot to mention that my cel light did come on after all this happened...but i think that could be cause i need to change out an 02 sensor. anyone else have any ideas on what could be wrong.

Jumped timing, bent valves.
