Turbo Help
I got on my car hard yesterday and looked at the boost guage and it was only reading 18psi when my tune is set for 23psi. I looked back when i got out of boost and there was a sloud of smoke. That pretty much means my k04 is done with. Or could i possibly have a head gasket issue. Please help

What color was the smoke?
White = coolant in the cylinders(head gasket)
Blueish= oil ( blown piston or rings)In you case seal in the turbo or blow by as well ,boost pressure leaking into crank case and forcing oil up into the intake through the crank case vent.
Black = to much fuel ( bad sensor)
White = coolant in the cylinders(head gasket)
