Turbo cleaning

I have an 05 f350 with 160 miles on it. I am getting an under boost code. I figure I need to clean my turbo. It hasn't been done since I owned it (60k).
I have the kit but I am wondering if it would be worth just replacing it with a new one as it has 160 miles on it?

Is this your DD if not I would remove and inspect before you purchase a new turbo. I cleaned mine at 153k and it was still ok. Is there play in the shaft- how does the wheel look- is it leaking oil into the exhaust?

Yes it's a daily driver, work truck.
Don't pull it off only to find its time for a new turbo and have no truck for a few days .

Then buy a bearing kit, unison ring and mounting kit and rebuild the whole thing.... call it done.
