This sounds like a timing belt issue.

Usually white smoke is a sign of timing problem - not enough fuel at time of compression induced combustion.

Timing belt may have slipped a tooth or 3. Clunking noise could be timing rattle or valves hitting pistons.

could be something unrelated to the turbo ie blocked fuel filter. easy thing to to check.
otherwise check cam belt (slipped a tooth or two) and then compression check.
tho its a little odd to do it over night. i wonder if its got a small leak in the injector pump, over night fuel can drain back to the tank and suck air into the pump. pump up the primer pump on top of the filter, if it takes a while to go hard its problerly got a leaky seal. your vechile is of the age of the ones that are prone to injector seal failure due to the new low sulphur deisel.

Just a thought also maybe check to see how much power you have at the glow plugs maybe let it glow a few times and try start it. Having just had the turbo fitted i'd take it back to them and let them look at it.
Hopefully sloshy will explain how to get them going without glow plugs in the morning :D
plenty of parts on the bench

At a guess, seals gone in turbo.

White smoke = unburnt fuel.

I'd guess that you don't have enough compression in one or more cylinders to ignite the fuel/air mix, and the clunking sound makes me think cracked piston. :cry:

When the turbo was installed ... was it properly tuned ?
