    strange turbo noise.....

    true that son! To be honest i think you will find that the bolts are loose somewhere in there, i have heard that its normally the bottom row on the inlet plenum / manifold. Try and get to them mate it will save alot of hassle if it is them.

    Red oil light flashing, 3 beeps, won't start

    sounds like an issue between the main loom with the oil temp / presure sensors on it and i would imagine it has melted through somewhere, also check the earthing cable, am i right in thinking it turns over fine just not fireing?
