Dealer says my turbo is shot

Engine light came on one night without any noticable problems. The next day there was no power, seems like no boost but I don't have a gauge. By 2000 rpm there is nothing left. Went to my dealer and they got high map sensor voltage codes and sustained high map sensor voltage. He said boost was 0 and the turbo was the problem. Drove 20 miles in this low power condition and later that night when I started the truck it ran normally for the 6 mile trip home. This morning it ran fine for 6 miles. Engine light went off and it ran fine till I hit my 1/4 mi long driveway and I noticed it back on when I went to shut down. Went back out on the road and it ran normally. I pull a 22' gooseneck and need this truck for work. It has 117,000 miles on it. I checked the lift pump and changed the fuel filter.

1) Can a turbo act like this?

2) If so where is the best place to get one? My dealer wants $1200 for a rebuilt one.

I would appreciate any appllicable info.

possibly your fuel filter. when you turn it off the sediments settle and then after you turn it back on it stirs everything back up to the top. worth a try.
