How does a sled act when the turbo goes south ?

Smart a$$ comments aside... I had trouble the other day and think maybe the turbo seized up for a bit. and wondering what people have experienced when their turbo went south.
After about 1/2 hour of riding it quit, Then I could get a good initial throttle to about 6000 RPM and it would max out and start going down. (like it could not exhaust and build any rev) Let it sit 30 seconds or so and you could do it again. Made it 1/4 mile like this and after trying all I could think of then I walked out to my spare sled and towed myself out. First time I had to do that. It almost sounded like an electric problem too. CDI??? On the ride before this one I burned up a cheap teather kill switch and had replaced with a Gunner. It worked fine on install but when having problems I tested it and it would run with it pulled???. Pulled that off in the field and wired direct with no change, Pulled TORS and reconnected, no change. Swaped TORS wires no change. Checked for loose wires and bad fuses all good. Checked fuel pump was running and good fuel running back into tank. Back at the shop it fired up and reved good and I could hear the turbo spinning when I killed it. seemed ok
03 RX1 with a early Bender turbo
Any thoughts?
If its the turbo where is the best replacement to be found?
I will dig into it tomorrow
Thanks for any help
