Its going to the indy now, so I will keep you updated...
From the screeching noise and the amount of white smoke,it seems like a broken turbo turbine/compressor shaft.
Disconnect the plastic pipe from turbo to air-filter housing and check the turbo inlet compressor for play!If it is broken ,it will be loose with a lot of movement.
Dont recommend you start the car again,if it is a broken turbo,because you will not only have oil in the exhaust(causing your white smoke),but you will also have oil accummulated in your intercooler and if its a lot of it ,this will go to your inlet and the engine will run on its own oil until it breaks....
Therefore ,if your indy does find it is a broken turbo,its essential that he cleans out the oil from the intercooler and all the pipes.
Keep us posted please
