Turbos very rarely just stop working - they usually make a hell of a lot of noise first. I would guess that it's more likely to be something else. To find out, pull off the inlet hose on the turbo, reach in there, and feel for the impeller. Does it turn freely? Is there any play in it? If it turns and there's no play, then the turbo's fine. When you say no boost, where does the boost gauge sit with engine idleing? Where does it sit under moderate acceleration? -- Grunff
