100bhp one I think.
It's in a toledo but that should be largely irrelevant.
Belching out white smoke, proper nobody can see behind you style. It's definitely oil it's burning, goes from full of oil to no oil within a couple of miles, smoke stops when oil pressure light comes on.
I think the head gasket has also gone but some k-seal has temporarily fixed that so keep it out of the equation unless relevant to the burning oil.
I'm thinking turbo related and it's just pissing the oil out then burning it?
Is turbo the best place to start do you think?

If it was the turbo you'd have oil in your intercooler and intake hoses so check those first.

deffo sounds like your turbo has went m8, take off the end of the pipe from the air filter box at the turbo and check for play in the turbo shaft, if there is any up and down/side to side movement or back and forth movement then its gubbed and u need to get it rebuilt or get a replacement  .

1st of all you need to check if its really white smoke.
Blue smoke is oil, white is water.
So i would start with figuring out what colour it is.

It's white and it's oil. Turbo off and it's fucked.
Anywhere good for a replacement?

Also, what else will fit straight on, or on very easily, anything bigger?

depends where your located m8 and also depends on the make of the turbo that was on the car.
