6.7 turbo issue

I have a 2012 6.7 with delete, EZ Lynk tuning, but otherwise pretty stock. In doing a little pulling last week the engine all of a sudden sounded awful, lost boost, etc. I am not getting any smoke, no oil in the intake, but turbo makes terrible noise. I cant find any plumbing leaks. Is it safe to assume the turbo is bad and just change it or is there some other testing I can do? thanks

Is it making the infamous screeching sound of death? I suggest replacing it with the updated 15+ unit if it is.

I would replace it with a OEM 2015+ unit.

thanks for your help. do you have any idea if the new turbos Ford sells for this year range are up-graded over the originally installed parts?

The OEM 2015+ would be an upgrade over what you had originally.

did you check your intercooler pipes for leaks or for splitting?
