 1G-GTE problem......

Fired my new 1g-gte up today, idled nicely at first... until it started making a terrible knocking sound.
Then the idle started to "wave" around, like it'd idle normally for cold starting, then drop to almost nothing, then back up to normal... and so forth.
But I dont care if it does that right now, the knocking is terrible! And loud!
What methods can I use to diagnose the knocking sound? I have confirmed it isnt from the A/C or water pump (though I havent tested the power steering pump... unlikely though).
Is it some dreaded bottom end problem that i've uncovered by using the engine? Or perhaps a turbo that's lost it's wheel? I've never heard a blown turbo before...
If anyone in Adelaide can come take a look, and help me at least work out whats wrong i'd much appreciate it!!
Thanks
