Sounds like a dead turbo. Sorry.

Bit of advice which oyu might already know but jsut to be sure: when you change the oil be sure to crank the engine over a few times BEFORE starting (disconnect fuel or spark). When you do start let it IDLE for a bit (10 seconds) BEFORE revving it up. That way you are ensured that the turbo is properly oil before any load is applied.

Better luck on the next one!
