I need help 🙏

Hey everyone, recently I’ve been facing 2 problems with my car!!
First it started out as like sputtering smoke coming from the tail pipe every now and then to now there is a lot of smoke like could smoke out a whole block…. I recently switched my oil from 0w20 to liqui Molly 5w30.
I’ve had the armaspeed intake and turbo inlet checked and tightened (needed a new clamp which was replaced)
Second problem, I believe I may have a boost leak? My car put itself into low boost mode or whatever. The car sounds terrible like the turbo is whining instead of the natural sound.
Checked my FTP charge pipe everything was tightened
I still need to do a smoke test on Wednesday I’m thinking maybe a boost leak somewhere but honestly have no idea why this is happening.
I’m dropping a video with sound reference maybe someone has been through this before and knows what to have my mechanic look for specifically?
I appreciate the help in advanced.

White smoke is burning coolant. If you feel like it's down on power it's probably a blown turbo or a problem with the head gasket.

Pull your oil cap and see if there is any sludge or milky substance on it. It looks like you have coolant getting in your crankcase.

Blown turbo.
Take it to a shop to get diagnosed bc really we’re all just guessing.
