Did I kill my turbo?

Hi everyone, hope some of you can help.
In short: was getting away from someone who thought they had a quick car and giving them a short demo of the Aero's capability. When I looked to see the car disappear in my rear-view, it did....yet, I also noticed a LOT of smoke. Didn't notice much after that other than a sort of grinding sound when I came off of the pedal with only a little boost. After getting off the highway, I noticed that the boost needle is sitting straight up and is not moving at all under boost and remained there when I tured the car off. So, not really noticing a HUGE difference in boost, but smoke, noise after the wastegate dumps and stuck needle. Any hints?
I didn't press the car too hard after the smoke show, so I can't really confirm that there IS boost, but it felt somewhat normal.
Anyway, thanks, in advance :)
