just my luck

So I fixed my wiring situation. After 2 years a ****ing around, my car finally ran. It ran really well too; I let it warm up, drove it around for a bit. It revved perfect, made boost well, pulled quite strong. Then on my way home, poof. white smoke billowing from the engine compartment, car now ran like ****. (FML) I haven't looked at it much yet- still shaking tbh. I would like to believe it's the head gasket. It ran for a little while after that -terribly- and then died, and refuses to start, but the engine does turn over. There is no fluid in the engine bay, it looks fine.
