6.0 diesel turbo issues

6.0 diesel turbo issues...F250 just turned 97K & broke down on I95 after going through Maryland toll..loss of power, blowing black smoke. Had it towed home & then to dealer next day. Initially they stated problem was bad FICM & EGR valve...had them replace them..$1750.00 & 2 days later picked up truck drove it 10 mins, black smoke loss of power..
ANY THOUGHTS on the problems that occurred...any comments would be welcomed....went back to dealer..waited...they stated they believed bad FICM caused raw fuel to be dumped into engine causing CAT converter to go bad & break up....converter was $1200.00 for part...another several days & another couple thousand...picked it up...waitied a few days to drive it went around 50 miles & feeling loss of intermittent power... wrench & eng lights came on...drove right to dealer..AGAIN...this time they said Turbo was bad..cost was $1950 for new Turbo...they had it for a week & when I picked it up they said the 1st turbo they put in went bad because of carbon build up...had to replace that..BUT they didn't charge me for 2nd...LOL....
Now here is the BIG question...they claim that I had let turbo idle too much causing carbon build up which caused all of my problems...now truck is sitting in driveway & wife wants to sell it....Thanks
