"POOOFF" goes the smoke screen!

I think the turbo just went? I friend of mine just gave me an 84 900T. it was his daily driver till about 5 months ago... the car ran fine and sat ever since.
Well, tonight I picked the car up and it runs nice. However, the APC would not hit the yellow, the turbo did not sound as prominant as usual, it was running hot(3/4 up and close to the red). Also, the oil looked clumpy like it had not been changed...ever, but it does run nice. So as i get about a few blocks from home I decide to feel it out some. As I rounded a corner (in second gear) I got on it! "POOOFF" billows of blue/white smoke cropdust evrything! I mean full on smoke screen style! No loss in power or hear any noise (before or after) nor did I see any coolant on the dipstick. I drove the car easy till I got close to home (anticipating if something would go i'd be around the block and was RIGHT)
The cockpit was smokey too (not heavy but noticable)
I've gone through the threads and found only those of you who were experiencing a little blue smoke but nothing as thick as this! I think the turbo seals completly blew out! What do you think? Either way the turbo is coming out tomarrow cuz the previous owner wants it back (that was the deal - wonder if he still wants it?). i guess i'll know then.
