Turbo Sticking

Ok so I got my FICM back from FICMREPAIR.com...works great...now since all this rain and humidity ( I live in PA where we had a lot of flooding this past week) the turbo is sticking now. I am assuming that since it sat the carbon just locked up on it...I also had my batteries disconnected for the past 6 days while I waited for the FICM. So anyways my question is 1. Could it be that the turbo is just relearning and no boosting correctly or is it carbon locking up on the vanes? 2. is there any other way to fix this issue without taking the turbo off like taking the actuator out and spraying break fluid in there or any other things that might help?

Reason is, is that I am trying to sell my truck and really am tired of all the money and what not I have had to put in to this truck.

Also the turbo was cleaned a year ago, dont know if that really matters.
