I would also check to see if the turbo wheel has been rubbing on the comp cover and also check your vac / boost lines, like the map sensor lines and fuel pressure reg lines, 
 
Does your car have a ceramic turbo? if so it is also possible to snap a shaft, the front would spin freely but the turbine could be jammed also blocking the flow.
 
And check your cat converter, if you have the stock one they block up very easily, and that would also explain the lack of power and no boost due to the insane about of back pressure.
 
Last but not least do a compression test, if all your rings are gone then no compression > no load > no exhaust pressure > no boost. 
 
Is the car hard to start?

nope car starts and idles like a dream its only when i try and drive it, it revs better in neutral with no load but gets worse when im out on the road.
 
removed the factory dump pipe yesterday and replaced with Berk Dump so no factory cat anymore cause i thought thats what it might of been, but no such luck :(
 
havent done a compression test and yeh factory turbo so could be shaft anyway i can check that??
