Think you probably nailed it with turbo seals. Having said that I'd be pretty worried about a loud rattling from the turbo, to me that indicates that the turbo is done. Have you taken the intake off and seen if/what kind of shaft play you have/ what other damage is int there? (I know its pretty hard to get to the turbo from the top and dropping sub frames always sucks, but you're gonna need to do that anyway).
On the bright side, sounds like it could be time for some larger turbos
