That sounds like a blown turbo seal, don't run it until you get it fixed cause more likely than not there isn't any oil pressure

It can be fixed just depends on how comfortable you are with your mechanical abilities. It involves taking the turbo off, pulling it all apart to replace the seals. I'm sure you can find the seals at the dealership.
