POP goes meh turbo!

POP goes meh turbo!
So I'm driving along today, feeling pretty happy, just bought a tool box for my truck and have a 12 pack of Sam Adams at home. I go to change lanes to pass and as I accelerate I hear a *POP* and this almost jet-like whine. I tried to accelerate and when it should be starting to kick in the turbo does nothing but whine even higher. So, it is my assumption that something is not right.
I don't have any boost gauges at this time (work in progress) so I can't tell the amount or anything I had or am getting/not getting. What would be a good course of action now, the dealer I bought it from seems unwilling to do much as I had to twist his arm basically to do the power steering hoses.
How do I get to inspect the turbo itself, gasket, rings, etc whatever it is made up of. I'd prefer to try and diagnose by myself as I have not found any reputable and decently priced diesel mechs around here. (If anyone is near Binghamton NY and knows of some, tell me).
I did google a bit - something about exhaust, or seals or rings?
TLDR: Heard a pop sound accelerating, now turbo does not work and has a high pitch (jet like) whine. When I accelerate and I know the turbo should kick in all I see is black smoke (yes its normal but not at the stage of that acceleration).
Thanks
