Default I think my friends turbo is F**ked

I am not sure if this is due to shaft play. But the turbo makes this high pitched sound when it boosts. Doesnt sound like nothing scraping or fins touching but wistle type sound(Loud also). I have no clue what is wrong but I know it doesnt sound normal. What do you guys think it is and is there anyway of fixing this my self?

Sounds like a boost leak.

I had a turbo get fawked up once. The fins were all chipped but it would still spin fine. Had no boost and the thing sounded like a cat in pain when you got on it. It would whine really loud.
