Think my turbo is dead

Now then chaps I'll get straight to it, I've got a 2007 seat Ibiza fr 1.9 tdi: left work drove 300 yards set off from lights not hard medium amounts of acceleration and sudden loss of power dropped down a gear and the car did drive just extremely poorly, engine wasn't lumpy just had rubbish power almost like it had a 50 cc engine in it , limped it 200 yards into asda quite a it of grey smoke. Parked up and could hear a rattling/chattering noise not sure where from though behind the block maybe, debated what to do and limped it 600 yards to work were I've left it. A mate said as I drove down the road back to work it was "smoking it's c*unt in".

I'm guessing here but the turbo propeller could be smashed inside hence the rattling but I daren't drive it I case any bits get through to the engine.

Just looking for advice really I know it's expensive to fix but can't really afford to change car ideally and I love my Ibiza it's a fun car! Where should I look for a new turbo? Gonna get my mechanic to have a look soon so will see what he thinks.

Just to add my Ibiza is the BLT according to my logbook, but on Eurocarparts when I enter the Reg the ones shown are all ASZ? Do the ASZ & BLT turbos fit each other 'plug and play' so to speak?

And what about the bigger turbos? Are there any that will fit my car without modifications? Ie would a pd160 for straight on because my cars mapped to approx 170ish I believe (previous owner had it done) the way I see it a 130 standard turbo will be working hard but a 160 will be less so?
