White smoke and oil all over.

As I was driving my turbo legacy down the highway yesterday I saw white smoke pouring out behind me, pulled over and the car stalled. Oil sprayed onto my fender and hood on the passenger side, and The vac lines that run from my turbo close to my intake popped off and are filled with oil. When I clean off the maf and start it up which takes a lot of throttle feathering white smoke pours our at my down pipe.
I just replaced my headgaskets. Could they have just blown again? Or did my turbo **** a brick?

Is the turbo noisy? Take the inlet pipe off and give the turbine shaft a shake. If the seals are really gone, the turbine will move quite a bit, also the inlet would have either coolant or oil present.
