You can get parts pretty cheap to rebuild it. You may find that when you take it apart it could just be a $100 rebuild. It parts are damaged it could go higher obviously. Maybe it is just a seal or something. With the screech sound it will most likely be more!

The "screach and a pop" very bad. To start with what year is your truck ? And if you have cash for stage 2 injectors you have enough money to fix your turbo the right way. Which sounds like alot of parts or a rebuilt one. And just put the injectors on hold for now. It doesn't sound like you are lacking in power if you were able to blow the turbo into pieces.Good Luck with the repairs and sorry to hear your turbo went south on you.

Sounds to me like the turbo locked up in which case it is a pretty good bet the shaft is junked. Doesn't cost anything to open it up and check it out though but like you mentioned I would be on the lookout for a new used turbo.

Another option if your turbo is shot(which it sounds like) is a turbo from PDR diesel. Check out their web site. I have their Super GTP and i like it. It is rebuildable and a little less than the 38r.

YIKES! No gauges but you're running a chip hot with no upgraded intake or opened up exhaust??? 
Man, that is super bad mojo. You're going to continue to run into problems like blowing your turbo if you don't follow the advice you'll find here and on other sites. Meaning, your "power modifications" should sort of go in an order pretty much like this:
1) Open up intake
2) Open up exhaust (either 4" or stock with a straight-through muffler like a Walker BTM)
3) Gauges...must have a pyro gauge
4) Chip
5) HPOP
6) Turbo
7) Injectors
Now, items 5-7 can go in a different order...but they've got to be done after 1-3 have been followed. If you're thinking about putting in injectors without doing 1-3, well, save yourself months of frustration and come throw your money away into MY trash can at my house (at least I will fish it out and put it to good use
). Seriously, you're throwing your money away on injectors and will likely ruin your truck in short order if you don't do 1-3 first.

I just got my turbo rebuilt with a wicked wheel for $650. Depending on how many miles are on your truck I would replace your pedestal o-rings and your up pipes. I did on mine because if you have your turbo off you can get to those parts easy. The ford delership close to my house recommended I do that.
