Take off the right front wheel to reach the plastic wing liner , removing a section allows you to reach the crank pulley bolt. Using a socket can you rotate the engine backwards? If yes then Theresa somthing between the piston and the head.

You obviously have serious damage and consequential secondary damage. It may be prudent NOT to spend money taking the head off but to locate a replacement engine. I changed mine after finding crank bearings wrecked and took the decision not to waste efforts to attempt a repair. On an Auto the engine comes easily out the top without even taking the bonnet off!!

Black white grey smoke doesnt sound right for a rebuilt engine at all and then saying "I think I will replace the turbo on Tuesday and hope for the best" is not ideal just fingers crossed diagnostics and guessing basically.
