Massive Smoke after Serpentine Belt Changeout

Critical info: '99 9-5 Wagon 2.3l 63k miles
Changed out serpentine belt and two idler pulleys yesterday. (Thanks to all for the tips on the center one). Drove around the block 1 mile and ran great.
Get in the car today and one mile from house, smoke and then stalling. Parked at side of road and got alternate ride to dealer for a new DI cassette. Change at roadside and no difference.
Car starts up and idles OK but emits small amounts of blue smoke. When you step on the gas, massive plume of greyish smoke. Check engine light is on.
Had car towed to dealer for diagnosis tomorrow. Wife thinks its too much of a coincidence and I messed something up. I think a vacuum valve went or the throttle body.
Any suggestions?? If it is the turbo, this will be the third. (and my last Saab!)
