Overheating and few other issues.

Hey guys, bought my 2nd Honda City, and first turbo city 3 weeks ago being told the only problem was when it was sitting at idle for a while it starts to smoke. So I was thinking just stem seals, but the other day I was going up the motorway when it began to overheat, ill admit my negligence of noticing the temp gauge until it was to late. The car began to lose power, was in 5th gear foot flat, turbo 3/4 spooled and the car was slowing down. So I pulled over to let it cool down for a bit, when I turned it on it ran on 2/3 cylinders and billowed out white smoke, fire extinguisher level thick. But as soon as I started driving it cleared itself and ran okay for a bit, before the temp gauge started rising again. Car drinks a bit of water and has compression in the radiator, so I was thinking possibly heat gasket or cracked head/block. What's the weaker link on city turbos? Also the PCV breather has a little filter on it and just glugs oil out of it.
