Bad Turbo????

OK here is my question, I here talk about people having the turbo replaced time and time again, my question is how to you know if you have a bad turbo is it something that gets worse over time or does it fail quickly when it is bad? I have an 05 F-250 that seems to not have the zip it once had its almost like it is being held back when I pull out to pass or just accelerating from a stop at more than just a putts, like when I am wanting to beat the jap junk sitting next to me at the light to the merge thats ahead. I am sure you guys have some sort of idea and this is why I am here. It is still under the 5/100000 warranty but would like some heads up as to what I am talking about before I talk to the Dealer.

The 05 has a boost gauge have you noticed anything different on the amount of boost you are getting?

The truck will definately feel sluggish if the turbo is bad.
