    If your main boost pipe is split that will be why it doesnt spool up as you are loosing pressure.
    The smoke on start up is normal if it is grey, its just condensation.

    that could be caused by the turbo, you say its not pulling right, so i would assume the turbo is on its way out, best thing to do is take off the pipe under the air filter going to the turbo, undo it and reach inside the turbo to see if the shaft / blades have any in and out play to them, if so, then the oil seals have gone and need replacing or a whole new turbo
