Ron,
Been thinking about this all day. First thing I would do is to pull the fittings off both ends of the turbo. It's pretty easy to do that. Then either cram your head in there, or use a mirror to inspect the turbo blades. Because, as Bill said, impeller chunks on intake side are not good.
If the blades are straight, not chipped, or you don't seen any cracks then I am going to assume that the code and subsequent check engine/depower is a signal problem or the turbo vane actuator is not behaving properly. I wouldn't be afraid to drive it, if I had inspected the turbo.
Are you getting the error code from the Prodriver or VMSPC?
