have you removed the AMM ti turbo duct and spun the compressor wheel by hand to see if it moves freely?? To me it doesnt sound like your turbo is bad at all... no screching noise as it comes on boost? no blue smoke out the back?
Do a compressoin check on engine.... keep looking to see what other problems there are... May be the ECU??
Also check throttle position sensor, vac leaks, rubber boots on interccoler and intercooler ducts... check for exhaust side leaks too and blockage in cat... but dont think its your turbo!
hope that helps
good luck!
