It would either be an intercooler pipe that blew off or your wastegate is stuck open.

I had a similar situation with my car about a week ago....ended up that my turbo wasn't getting any oil, smoked the bearings down on the inside, which created super slop shaft play...

The above are Both are good ways to start, but also do what I did: Take of the intake and check for shaft play...you may have had lack of oil to your turbo and in turn cooked your turbo...

Sorry, but running lean will not cause the car to not see any boost.

Default stuff

Are you sure it is really spooling? Are you sure it isn't just spinning a little bit? If you can't find any leaks or major exhaust restrictions you should check to make sure all of your cylinders are firing.
