Is my engine dead?!?!

[DSMWannaBe90]

Bought the car w/ 127k miles on it and the guy said it needed a new turbo. New turbo came w/ the car (14b) and said it would run if I put on the new turbo. The car would run, but...it would smoke a WHOLE lot and so I barely got it home. Replaced the turbo today and started the car up, ran fine for about 2 seconds and thent he idles dropped and the car died; started it again, gave it some gas, idles for a second and then dropped offa nd died again. I checked all the bolts and pipes to make sure no leaks or anything. Start it again and rev it for a few mins. and messed w/ the IAC, samet hing. After about 3 min of reving the engine I see a lot of smoke comming from the turbo; I'm guessing oil burning off and PB blaster, things like that. Look out the back, smoking like no other. It did this when I got the car, so apparently replacing the turbo did nothing and the guy lied to me. So is my engine dead or could I have screwd up in putting the turbo on???? When I first got the car it was blue smoke, but now its just flat out white smoke!! What should I check next on the engine?? There is also oil leaking out near the filter under the car, could this be a cause of the problem as well?? Let me know please!!!! I wanna know if I should just strip it and junk it. Oh ya..how much does a compression test run??

Head gasket. Sorry.

go do a compression test. you can get a tester from NAPA for like $20 or any auto place. goto vfaq.com to see how to do it. the site tells everything including what it should be. if they are too low then it could be the headgasket. which isn't that hard to change, just takes time.
